2 Tbs Red wine
1 ½ tsp dried Rosemary
½ tsp freshly ground Pepper

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, mash the garlic and salt into a paste. Whisk in the lemon juice, olive oil, coffee and red wine, rosemary and pepper. Toss the meat or tofu chunks in the marinade. Cover the bowl and allow to marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Remove the meat or tofu from the marinade and set the liquid aside for basting. Alternate the meat/tofu, pineapple, red pepper, cherry tomatoes and onion wedges on skewers. Grill the over hot coals for 12 to 15 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade and turning frequently. Serve on a shallow bed of fresh rosemary. Serves 6.
