Sweet n' Sour Skewers

This is really just a variation on this recipe, but with a fancier presentation sure to wow your guests at the next BBQ (or, cookout, for you Americans). The pineapple provides the sweet, the citrus provides the sour, and the grilling just enhances the tastiness.

INGREDIENTS
Amounts will vary on how many skewers you want to make.
- red pepper
- green pepper
- onion, quartered
- firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- pineapple
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- juice of 2 limes
- juice of 1 lemon
- juice of 1 orange
- splash of tequila (optional)
- 1-2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- salt and pepper to taste

METHOD
1. Cut veggies into large chunks and toss in oil, juices, and spices. Let marinate if you have the time.
2. Stick veggies tightly on skewers, and grill on a well-oiled grill over med-hi heat for about 15 mins (until veggies are done). Make sure to rotate the skewers to get the veggies cooked evenly, and to brush the veggies with the extra marinade at least twice.
