- 4. Once the grill is nearly preheated, thread tofu, pepper and red onion onto skewers. Barbecue, turning and brushing with any remaining marinade, for a total of 5 to 6 minutes. Serve with lime wedges on a platter sprinkled with peanuts and mint.
- Tip: On colder days, turn on the stove broiler and cook for 6 minutes, turning throughout the cook time.
