Equipment

  • Wooden skewers

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block tempeh or extra firm tofu
  • 2 red onions

Marinade

  • 1 tub yoghurt (I used Greek)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp (smoked) paprika
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • handful fresh parsley
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, mix the yoghurt with the garlic, spices, lemon, parsley and seasoning. Cut the tempeh into cubes, mix into the marinade, and leave in the fridge for an hour to marinate.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Prick the tempeh cubes onto the skewer and alternate with pieces of onion.
  • On a lined baking tray, bake the skewers under the grill for 20 minutes or until golden.

Notes

For extra vegetables: try courgette half-moons, pieces of red bell pepper, or whole small cherry tomatoes.
Rub any leftover marinade on the vegetables, don't waste that flavour!
