In Los Angeles there is a small chain of natural food markets called Mrs.

Gooch's. Every day, in their deli section, they put out freshly made

salads, entrees, and desserts. This dish is a favorite of ours.

 

1. Combine the tofu and teriyaki sauce in a sealed plastic bag. Freeze

overnight and thaw the next day. Turn the bag once or twice during the

thawing process. Reserve the marinade.

 

2. Place the tofu, peppers, onion, and mushrooms on skewers, alternating

the order, beginning and ending with tofu. Combine the oil with the

reserved marinade and brush on the tofu and vegetables. Place on a grill

and brown on all sides. Brush on barbecue sauce and grill a while

longer. Serve with Rosemary Brown Rice Pilaf (see separate recipe).
