Preparation Time: 15min
Cooking Time: 10-12min
Serves: 2 

  1. Put 4 kebab skewers into a shallow tray. Cover with water if they are wooden, to prevent them from burning later. Preheat the grill to hot and line a small tray with foil.
  2. Deseed the peppers and cut them into 8 chunks each. Peel and cut the onion into 8 wedges. Cut the tofu into 8 even-sized chunks.
  3. Thread the tofu and veg onto the soaked skewers and place on the lined tray. Scatter over 1tbsp of the paprika, the oregano, cinnamon and a generous pinch of salt. Drizzle over the olive oil, then rub the seasonings over the tofu and veg to coat them fully.
  4. Slide the tray under the grill for 10-12min, turning the skewers every 2-3min, until golden all over.
  5. For the yogurt: Tip 100g  yogurt into a small mixing bowl and add the remaining ½tbsp paprika. Finely chop 50g olives, then peel and finely grate 1 clove of garlic and chuck those in, too. Give everything a good mix, season to taste with salt, then crack on with the rest of the dish.
  6. Thinly shred 2 heads of baby gem lettuce crossways. Spread the yogurt onto plates and load on the shredded gem. Lay 2 skewers on each portion and tuck in!
