BBQ jerk skewers
this weekend i hosted a BBQ with my SO. i was the only veggie there but we made veggie skewers for everyone and a portabello burger for me (along with meaty things for everyone else). the skewers were loved by all, so i wanted to share the ridiculously easy recipe. sorry no pics...

BBQ jerk skewers

ingredients:
- red peppers
- onion
- portabello mushroom
- cherry tomatos
- extra-firm tofu
- mango
- pineapple

sauce:
- jerk marinade (from a bottle. try larger supermarkets or "ethnic" stores)
- bbq sauce (we used honey-garlic, but you can use whatever type you want. be sure to check the ingredients because i realized only the day after that there were anchovies in it :( )

non-food ingredient:
- skewer sticks (we bought metal skewers because they're reusable, and because bamboo ones are splintery sometimes)

you can use any veggies you want. the mango & pineapple came to me when we were watching "sneakers". in hindsight i think plantain would've been awesome as well.


directions:
- chop the ingredients into bite-sized pieces
- stab ingredients onto skewers (i'm a bit OCD so each piece could not be beside a piece of the same colour)
- jerk marinade is freaking SPICY so what we did was we put a good amount in a bowl and cut it with BBQ sauce. the ratio was at least 60% BBQ sauce and the balance jerk sauce. taste it before you marinade because you don't want to set your friends' mouths on fire. liberally brush the skewers with the marinade mix and place in refrigerator for at least an hour to absorb flavour.
- BBQ those crazy sticks! barbeque until there is some black on the skewers.
- consume.
