Arrange each of the following kebab items in a separate clear glass bowl with skewers on a table next to the grill. Guests can then choose the items they want to create their own unique, Gold Medal-worthy kebabs while cheering on their favorite athletes:

Marinate a selection of bite-size tofu (after pressing & draining - see page 14), tempeh, and seitan in the following Grilling Vegan Style marinades (Marinate for a few hours to overnight before serving):

Lemon & Garlic Sittin' on a Skewer (page 106)
Mustard [HEARTS] White Wine (page 107)
Orange & Lime Summer Juice (page 110)
Prime Time Lime (page 111)
Brown Sugar & Bourbon, Baby! (page 113)
Apple of My Eye (page 114)
Get Tangy with It (page 115)
Drop It like It's Hot Sauce (page 118)
(Or any of the other marinades from Chapter 7 in Grilling Vegan Style)

Suggested vegetables, cut into bite-size pieces, to accompany the marinated tofu, tempeh, and seitan above, or to go solo on the skewers (Have extra virgin olive oil and extra marinade available to brush the vegetables before and during grilling, as well as any seasonings of choice):

Red, yellow, and/or green bell peppers
Mushrooms
Onions
Carrots
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Thick asparagus spears
Eggplant
Zucchini
Jalapenos
Cherry tomatoes
(Or other favorite veggies of choice from the backyard garden or local farmers market)

DIY Olympic Dessert Kebab Bar:

Like with the main course kebabs above, in clear glass bowls with skewers on a table next to the grill, arrange each of the following fruits in bite-size pieces (Have extra virgin olive oil for gently coating the fruit):

Strawberries
Bananas
Cantaloupe
Plump blueberries
Apples
Kiwis
Peaches
Pineapple
Watermelon
Coconuts
(Or other fruit of choice)

Optional: Melted vegan chocolate for dipping (!!!)

Grill the kebabs over medium heat for 6 - 10 minutes, or until done, turning a few times for even cooking on all sides. Because each kebab will be a unique creation, the grill master should stick close to the grill and carefully watch the kebabs as they may be done at different times. (NOTE: If using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 20 - 30 minutes before using them to prevent burning.)
