    Instructions

    1 Heat a barbecue hotplate (or grill pan) to medium-high. Grill corn, turning, for 8-10 minutes, until charred and tender.

    2 Meanwhile, alternately thread tempeh, capsicum, onion and pineapple onto skewers.

    3 In a small pan over a medium heat, combine tomato purée, sauces, vinegar and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar.

    4 Reheat barbecue to medium-high. Grill skewers for 3–4 minutes each side until browned and cooked, basting with half the sauce while cooking.

    5 Meanwhile, remove corn kernels from cobs using a sharp knife. Heat rice according to packet instructions. Transfer the rice to a medium bowl. Stir in corn kernels and parsley.

    6 Boil remaining basting sauce for 30 seconds then remove from heat and drizzle over skewers. Serve skewers with the corn rice and salad with vinaigrette drizzled over.

    HFG tip

    Soak wooden skewers in water before use to prevent them from scorching.
