A sweet and sour sauce made with our date syrup that goes very well with tofu.

Serves 2 / preparation time 15 minutes

• 1 onion
• 2 pinches of salt
• 2 tbsp cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tbsp date syrup
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• tofu of your choice
• 1/2 pepper

1. In a small saucepan, sauté the onion with salt over medium heat with a dash of olive oil. Deglaze with cider vinegar and add the orange juice. Simmer until the liquid thickens slightly.
2. Add the tomato paste, the squeezed garlic, the date syrup and the balsamic vinegar. Simmer the sauce over low heat. It must have a consistency neither too liquid nor too thick.
3. Meanwhile, prepare your tofu skewers with a slice of pepper between each piece of tofu. Cook the brochettes in a frying pan over medium heat. Serve the skewers with the sauce.
