Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Heat barbecue grill to medium heat and add vegies. Cook for a few minutes, turning often, until zucchini and onions soften. Turn barbecue off and leave to cool for a few minutes. Add mozzarella and toss together with vegies, so mozzarella melts slightly.

2 Lightly season and serve immediately as a side dish.
