Instructions

Stay Awake

(Stops screen from sleeping)

1 Cut meat in cubes (about 2cm x 2cm). Mix lemon juice with garlic and pour over meat. Leave for 15 minutes and only then heat oven grill to 220°C.

2 Wash vegetables. Cut capsicum in slices of similar size to meat. Peel onion, cut in half and separate layers. Slice courgette. Halve each mushroom. Thread veges and meat onto 8 skewers, taking care to include every type of vegetable on every skewer. For best results, alternate each meat cube with a vege.

3 Grill skewers for 8 minutes until medium brown. Serve with wholemeal pita, sliced tomatoes, rocket or lettuce leaves and yoghurt.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free pita and check yoghurt is gluten free.
Put a dried apricot onto each skewer for a hint of zesty sweetness.
For extra taste, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme onto skewers just before cooking.
Adding 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika or ground coriander seeds will add a deeper flavour to the dish.

HFG tip

If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before you start — this will stop the ends from burning in the oven.
Be careful if you are using metal skewers, the ends will get extremely hot.
