Ingredients

  • 2 cups of pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons of El Yucateco Red Habanero Hot Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of El Yucateco XXX Habanero Hot Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3-4 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 block of extra firm tofu
  • 6 wooden skewers in water
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1/4 of a fresh pineapple
  • grape tomatoes
  • olive oil
  • cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  • Add 2 cups of pineapple juice to a pan over a low flame
  • Then add in 2 tablespoons of El Yucateco Red Habanero Hot Sauce and 2 tablespoons of El Yucateco XXX Habanero Hot Sauce (Kutbilik). * You can add less sauce if you'd rather this sauce be more sweet than spicy - but the sauce is a key flavoring component and cannot be left out entirely.
  • Also, add in 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 3-4 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of salt and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Then you want to take this sauce/marinade to the stove and while it cools a tad, drain and dry a block of extra firm tofu on paper towels.
  • Then cut the tofu into cubes and place the cubes in a dish and pour about 3-4 tablespoons over the cubes, making sure all the cubes are covered.
  • Then soak some wooden skewers in water
  • Chop some green bell peppers and cube 1/4 of a fresh pineapple
  • Assemble the skewers by adding a grape tomato, green bell pepper slice, 2 pieces of tofu, a cube of pineapple, another 2 pieces of tofu, and finishing off with another bell pepper slice and finally a tomato. I made 6 skewers and brushed them with olive oil. I simply sautéed the remaining tofu, bell peppers, and pineapple chunks to make a simple stir fry
  • After the skewers are assembled, place them in an oven that's been pre-heated to 400 degrees, for 15 minutes.
  • Turn them once (brush with olive oil if needed) and let bake for another 15 minutes.
  • While the skewers are baking, place the leftover sauce on a low flame and let it reduce down to a thick sauce that will be served with the skewers.
