Nutritional values

Tofu is a great substitute for meat for vegetarians and vegans because it contains a lot of protein and can satiate you well. This is a great dish to serve for all those who don't eat meat, but even those who do eat meat will enjoy it! 

You can make these as an appetizer, or you can cook them according to the recipe, then take them off the skewers and serve them over a salad, rice, or noodles.
