Hello my Dearest Foodies,
Summer is far from over yet and these MINI TEMPEH KEBABS are perfect for BBQ party although I grilled them in oven. They are marinated in my special BBQ sauce made from scratch.
Although, I prepared these many times before, because they are delicious and everyone loves them, this recipe is improved. In the past, I was always using organic ketchup as a base for the BBQ sauce, however, in this case I am using sundried tomatoes instead. And even though they are store bought, you can make them yourself, especially if you grow your own tomatoes. Also, you can grill these kebabs on outdoor grill if you prefer. I bet they will be incredibly delicious!
I wish you fabulous summer week ๐๐๐
