2 tablespoons butter (use vegan butter or coconut oil for non-dairy version)
3 corn cobs, kernels removed
2 jalapeños, seeded
3–4 clove garlic, minced
1 medium yellow, orange or red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1cup frozen lima beans, thawed
1pint cherry tomatoes, halved
BBQ Tofu Kebobs
1 package (12 ounces) extra firm tofu, cubed (into roughly 24 cubes, make them big enough to fit on skewers)
1/2cup prepared BBQ sauce
Instructions
Prep the kebobs. Place the cubed tofu in a large bowl with the BBQ sauce. Toss a few times to evenly cover the cubes, then place in the fridge to sit for at least 30 minutes.
When you are ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium heat. Place a cast iron pan (or other grill safe pan) on right after lighting the grill, so it heats up as the grill does.
Skewer the tofu cubes and set aside. I use these small skewers that fit 3-4 cubes per skewer, I find that they are easier to flip on the grill.
Add in the butter/oil to the pan until just melted, then add in the corn. Close the grill and let cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until corn has cooked down and is slightly browned.
Add in the chopped peppers, garlic, and spices, then let cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, add in the lima beans and tomatoes.
While the succotash finishes cooking, grill the kebobs. Place the kebobs onto a lightly greased grill and cook 2-3 minutes per side, basting with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
Serve grilled succotash and tofu kebobs! Be careful when transporting the cast iron pan from the grill to the table- it’s hot!
