Grilled Vegetable Kebabs - by Jeff Stafford
This vegetable kebabs recipe is a bit hit even for non vegetarians. They are really easy to make and the marinade is yummy. Serves 6.
Ingredients
- 6 small onions
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 12 button mushrooms
- 2 small zucchini
- 1 red capsicum
- 1/2 cup of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 small red chilli, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme, chopped
Start by peeling the onions and cut them into thin slices. You can blanch the onions, but this is optional.
Cut the mushrooms, zucchini and capsicum into small bite size pieces.
Place all the prepared vegetables onto each skewer, alternating with each vegetable each time you put something on a skewer.
To make the marinade for the vegetable kebabs, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, red chilli and thyme. Mix really well and pour the marinade over the vegetable skewers. Allow the vegetable kebabs to marinate for at least 1 hour to develop the flavors, turning occasionally.
Cook the kebabs on a preheated BBQ plate or grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, turning the skewers once and basting from time to time with the remaining marinade.
Keep in mind that you are not limited to using only these vegetables for the vegetable kebabs recipe. Feel free to use any fresh seasonal vegetables you have available.
