 Combine marinade ingredients in a shallow glass
 baking dish. Add tofu and pineapple chunks and let
 marinate at room temperature one hour. Stir
 occasionally to coat tofu with marinade.

 Prepare grill. Thread skewers with tofu,
 pineapple, and vegetables leaving small spaces between
 pieces of food to allow for faster, more even cooking.
 Brush brochettes with some of the marinade.

 When coals are ready, place skewers on grill and
 cook 10 to 15 minutes, turning once. Brush brochettes
 with more marinade as they cook. Brochettes are ready
 when edges become crisp and begin to blacken.
