Veggie Kebabs
Ideally you would cook these on a barbecue but we all know what the British weather is like! These kebabs will cook just as well on a grill if it’s too cold or you’re not in the mood for outdoor cooking. Remember, fresh air makes food taste even nicer!
Ingredients (Serves 4)
16–20 cherry tomatoes
2 courgettes
16–20 button mushrooms
1 medium onion
1 x 5ml spoon olive oil
Black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Light the barbecue or turn the grill on to a high heat.
Wash the courgettes and cherry tomatoes.
Wipe the mushrooms with a clean damp cloth.
Peel the onion and chop into 1cm wedges.
Chop the courgettes into cubes (about the same size as the onion pieces).
Thread a courgette cube, a whole mushroom, a whole cherry tomato and a chunk of onion onto a skewer. Keep going until the skewer is full.
Brush each skewer with a little oil and add black pepper to taste (if using).
Grill on each side until cooked. This should take around 5–10 minutes depending on how hot your grill or barbecue is. Keep turning them so they don’t burn.
Top Tips
Make a marinade to add extra flavour to your skewers. Mix 1 x 15ml spoon of olive oil and 1 x 15ml spoon of balsamic vinegar. Drizzle over your veggie skewers before cooking, or if you have time, leave them in the marinade for at least half an hour before cooking.
Metal skewers will get really hot so use oven gloves to turn them over. Or use wooden skewers but soak them in water for a couple of minutes to prevent them burning on the barbecue!
The barbecue will need to be lit at least an hour before you start cooking.
