  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 250      g             Tofu
   1      tb            Lemon juice
     3/4  ts            Basil
                        Salt & pepper  -- to taste
   1      tb            Mustard
 200      g             Courgette
   4      tb            Flour -- +2 tb, divided
   2                    Eggs
     1/2  ts            Mild paprika
  50      g             Margarine

Once the tofu is marinated, this is fast.

Ahead:

Cut the tofu into blocks of about 2 cm. Stir together lemon juice,
basil, salt, pepper, and mustard in a medium bowl. Toss in the tofu
blocks. Let marinate at least 2 hours.

When ready to cook:

Wash courgette and cut into slices of about 1-1/2 cm.

Put 2 tb flour into a deep plate. In another deep plate, beat
together the eggs and paprika. Add the remaining flour, stirring
until smooth.

Remove the tofu blocks from the marinade and dry with paper towels.
Dip each block in the flour and then in the batter. Repeat with the
courgette slices.

In a large frying pan, heat the margarine. Add the tofu blocks and
courgette slices; cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes.
Divide among 4 wooden skewers. Lekker with frites and iceberg sla.
Or over rice or noodles, with a side salad.

I think sticking these onto skewers after they're already cooked is a
silly idea. Just dump them (attractively) on a plate and serve.
