Yom Haatzmaut is the barbecue (mangal) holiday in Israel . Every year we meet with friends under our secret tree on the Carmel Mountain. We always have two charcoal grills: Meat and veggie. Our family is responsible for the veggie skewers that include veggies and tofu or seitan in a marinade. The skewers are very popular among the meat eaters as well.

Thank you Tamar.
Sure, I like to broil when I can’t grill.
Can this be cooked in a grill pan on top of the stove?
