Instructions: Use any of the marinades given below, or substitute your favorite homemade or bottled marinade.

Yield: 4 servings.

Serving size: 1 skewer

Whisk together all marinade ingredients. Set aside. Cut tofu or tempeh into 1" cubes. Place them into a covered dish or zippered plastic bag. Add all the vegetables except the cherry tomatoes to the bag and pour the marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours. Carefully stir or turn the zippered bag over a few times while marinating.

Divide the marinated ingredients evenly, along with the cherry tomatoes, and thread on four skewers. Place under a broiler or on the grill. Cook, turning and brushing with marinade a few times, about 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender crisp.
