Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- 1 red onion
- 1 capsicum (any colour)
- 12 cup mushrooms, stems removed
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped (to garnish)
Tangy peanut sauce
- ¼ cup peanut butter (see Note)
- 1 tbsp hulled tahini
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tbsp tamari (see Note)
- ½ small red chilli, finely chopped
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
Soaking time 30 minutes
Instructions
Soak 6 wooden skewers for 30 minutes or so (to avoid burning on the grill) while preparing the vegetables.
Preheat a grill plate or barbecue to medium-high.
Slice the zucchini into 1 cm-thick "coins". Chop the red onion and capsicum into pieces roughly the same size as the zucchini. Holding each skewer in your hand (allowing room for it to be held when cooked), thread vegetables onto the pointy end. Layer zucchini, mushroom, capsicum and red onion twice each, before finishing with one cherry tomato.
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until vegetables are cooked. Remove from the heat and assemble on plates.
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a jar with 3 tbsp of water, top with a lid and shake vigorously to combine. Drizzle the sauce over the vegetables, garnish with chopped coriander, and serve on a bed of steamed quinoa or brown rice.
Note
• I prefer natural peanut butter with no added salt or sugar.
• Tamari is Japanese soy sauce made naturally without gluten. If you can’t find tamari, choose a low-salt soy sauce.
