Check out these easy veggie skewers with courgettes soaked in a citrusy sweet marinade with a hint of chilli. Make these quick skewers as a simple veggie bbq side
Ingreadient:
- 8 baby courgettes
- 2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 2 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp dried chilli flakes
- 2 tbsp clear honey
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- ground to make 1 tsp black peppercorns
Directions :
- Top and tail the courgettes and cut each into 3 equal pieces and put into a shallow container or baking dish.
- Mix together the lemon zest and juice, oregano, chilli, honey, oil, black pepper and a good pinch of salt in a bowl. Divide in two then pour 1/2 over the courgettes – keep the rest covered in a dish in the fridge. Gently toss and marinate for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
- Soak wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes or use metal skewers. Heat a griddle pan or frying pan over a medium-high heat or cook over indirect heat on a BBQ.
