Vegetable Kebab
- RECIPE MAKES: 6 – 8 skewers (depending on the length of the skewers)
- PREP TIME: 30 minutes plus 2 hours marinating time
- COOK TIME: 10 – 15 minutes
Method
Step 1
Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium-sized bowl; stir to combine.
Step 2
Place vegetables into the marinade; stirring occasionally, for at least 2 hours.
Step 3
Arrange marinated vegetables on skewers in any imaginative sequence.
Step 4
Grill on BBQ or under a grill; basting with leftover marinade and turning every few minutes.
Step 5
The cooking time is not exact; they need to be watched carefully and removed from the heat until the vegetables are tender and browned.
Step 6
Serve hot.
Serving suggestions:
- 6 x 15cm BBQ skewers (wooden skewers should be soaked in water for 1 hour prior to using; this stops them from burning during cooking)
- Serve kebabs with rice or pasta; either low protein or regular, to complete a tasty meal. Discuss with your dietitian if unsure.
- Leave marinade and vegetables in the refrigerator overnight for best results. You don’t have to stir during the night!
Top Tip:
Try including chunks of zucchini to the vegetable mix for variety.
