Satay Tofu And Mushroom is a protein rich, vegan, glutenfree , delicious appetizer made by grilling the tofu and mushroom marinated with homemade satay sauce. It is served with some extra satay sauce and salad.
I had grilled the satay tofu and mushroom on the open barbeque. I have placed aluminium foil on the barbeque grill and then have cooked. Howevxeer if you do not have a barbeque then you can cook the satay tofu and mushroom on pan or grill them in the oven.
The grilled satay tofu and mushroom tastes best when served with the satay sauce. You can make extra satay sauce for serving or I collect the sauce in a bowl after the tofu and mushroom are put on the skewer after marination.
Always use a firm or extra firm tofu for grilling or pan frying. It will not break while cooking. Everybody enjoyed all the vegetarian dishes to the fullest. I have already shared the recipe of Hariyali paneer tikka. I will share the recipe for tandoori gobi aloo soon.
So friends do try this protein rich and flavorful recipe and share your feedback with me.

Tofu and Mushroom on skewer
- Take the tofu and pat dry it on the kitchen towel or absorbent paper.

- Now coat the tofu and mushroom well with the satay sauce very gently. Let it marinade for 30 minutes.

(I have soaked the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes so they become wet and do not burn while grilling on barbeque or oven). Remove the extra sauce left after arranging the tofu and mushroom on a skewer in a bowl for serving.
