Servings: 4
Prep time : 25 min

Ingredients
Brochettes
1 1/2 lb (675 g) firm tofu, cut into large cubes
1/4 cup (60 ml) lemon juice
30 ml (2 tablespoons) of vegetable oil
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
15 mL (1 tablespoon) dried oregano
1 mL (1/4 teaspoon) chopped crushed flakes
12 mini peppers or 1 large pepper seeded and cut into large cubes
2 small red onions, quartered
Garnish
1 cup (250 mL) vegan sour cream (ex: Toffuti)
1 clove of garlic, chopped
20 ml (4 teaspoons) lemon juice
4 Lebanese cucumbers, sliced thinly
30 ml (2 tablespoons) of vegetable oil
2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) dried oregano
4 pita breads
Preparation
Brochettes
If your are using wood brochettes, soak them in some water for 15-30 minutes.
Rinse the tofu.
In a glass dish or large airtight bag, combine tofu, lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano and chilli. Salt and pepper. Let macerate for 15 minutes.
Oil the grill. Preheat the barbecue to high power.
Put the tofu, peppers and onions on the brochettes. Keep the marinade.
Cook the brochettes for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the tofu and vegetables are grilled, turning them over during cooking. Cook it slowly, don't put the BBQ on high. Reserve on a plate and brush with the reserved marinade.
Garnish
In a bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic and half of the lemon juice (10 ml / 2 teaspoons). Salt.
In another bowl, mix the cucumbers with the oil, the remaining lemon juice and the oregano. Salt and pepper.
Spread the pita breads with the sour cream mix, then add the tofu, the vegetables and the cucumbers.
