Yummy weeknight dinner or could definitely be added to a graze or catering table these delish kebabs and homemade hummus was a fun little afternoon “project” for me. TBH I usually slam a cookbook shut as soon as I see *soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes* because who has time FOR THATTT 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 lol BUT ANYWAYS, it was worth it.


Vegetarian Kebabs & Herbed Hummus Platter w/ Creamy Harissa Dressing

Soak your wooden skewers in water for abut 30 minutes

Sweet onion, chopped into bite sized chunks

yellow bell pepper, cut into bite sized chunks

orange bell pepper, cut into bite sized chunks

While the skewers are getting a bath, chop your vegetables and cube the tofu. Marinate them in a mixture of soy sauce and just olive oil/seasonings or I used some leftover balsamic vinaigrette I had (olive oil, balsamic glaze and vinegar, dried herbs, chopped garlic, salt/pepper) and thought that would be delicious on these veggies too. The soy sauce helps salt it up!

After marinating for as long as you can stand,  skewer them onto the wooden sticks and grill them on my ridged griddle on the stove. You can broil them too or air-fry or grill outside too. I love to get them nice and blackened like they were cooked over an open fire!

of chickpeas, rinsed and drained. Outer skins removed if you life to do that.

Separately purée the hummus ingredients in a food processor then spread out the hummus onto a pretty white platter.

To make the Harissa-Curry Sauce, combine the mayo, harissa paste, curry powder (or paste would work too), pickled jalapeno juice from the jar, chopped garlic, salt and pepper together until creamy.

Top the hummus with the skewers, a nice drizzle of the sauce, chopped cilantro and some pine nuts.

Serve with a spoon for the hummus and tongs to pick up the skewers, plus little plates on the side.  I like to add a spicy kick so maybe some pickled jalapenos too.
