Preparation steps

1.

Rinse zucchini, trim and cut into slices. Rinse the bell peppers, cut in half, trim and cut into bite-sized pieces. Clean mushrooms and halve or quarter depending on size. Cut the tofu into cubes. Thread all ingredients on 12-16 wooden skewers, alternating vegetables and tofu. Place skewers side by side in a flat baking dish.

2.

For the marinade, mix the soy sauce with the honey, lemon juice and oil and brush over the skewers. Cover and infuse for about 1 hour in the refrigerator.

3.

For the puree, cook beans in salted water until soft, about 10 minutes. Then drain, let cool slightly and pour into a blender. Blend with the orange juice, thyme and yogurt to a creamy puree, adding a little cooking water as needed. Season with salt.

4.

Grill skewers on the preheated grill while turning, about 8 minutes. Serve with the bean puree.
