Ingredients

- 14 oz extra-firm tofu pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 medium zucchini cut into 1-inch rounds
- 0.25 cup olive oil

Notes
Storage: Store cooled skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Make-Ahead: Marinate the proteins and tofu up to 24 hours in advance for deeper flavor. Assemble skewers the day of cooking for best texture. Variations: Substitute chicken or shrimp for the lamb/beef. For a vegetarian version, double the tofu and omit the meat. Add bell peppers or mushrooms to the skewers for more veggies. Serving Suggestion: Serve over a bed of couscous, quinoa, or with a side of garlic aioli for dipping.
