PARTNER POST: Dive into the 120 days of summer with Santa Rita wines that pair perfectly with the foods of the season, straight off the grill.
Yogurt-marinated tofu and vegetables are doused in spices and grilled to delicious perfection. This recipe is proof that even vegetarians can have good barbecued food.
Summer is at its peak and what could be more fun to enjoy than spicy grilled food, wines and some beaches?!
I used tofu and vegetables to make these grilled skewers. While marinating them in the yogurt spice mix I also added the spice mix and you won’t believe how flavorful the skewers were. I had some guests come over and they all enjoyed the skewers with Santa Rita red wine.
I would highly recommend the Badia spice mix along with Santa rita wines as with these two things you can have lots of fun and creativity in the summers. Go ahead and enjoy the summers with Santa Rita wines and Badia spices.
