Tofu and tempeh can be smoked on a covered grill. Arrange hot charcoals around

edges of grill; place a shallow pan of water in center. Sprinkle hot coals with

mesquite chips that have been soaked in water and well drained. It can also be

smoked on top of the range. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons mesquite smoking bits

(very small mesquite chips, available in canisters at hardware and home

improvement stores and some large supermarkets) or mesquite shavings in bottom

of large Dutch oven. Place tempeh or tofu on rack and cover; heat over high

heat 5 minutes. Lift lid just enough to make sure pan is filled with smoke;

reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, 20 to 30 minutes.

" Smoked tofu can be used in place of the tempeh, if desired. Smoked

tofu can also be purchased in health food and specialty stores. "
