Mixed Veggie and Feta Kebabs
If you’ve already picked out the meat to grill at your 4th of July picnic, but are now looking for something in the line of veggies and salads, take a look at this incredibly delicious alternative to a typical side-dish for your meal. We have the traditional salads to choose from, of course, but this bright and tangy marinaded veggie kebab is really a nice surprise for our guests. They are simple to put together and tremendously flavorful. Your vegetarian guests will also appreciate your thoughtful effort.
Kebabs:
7oz feta cheese
1/4 Sweet Red Pepper
1/4 Sweet Yellow Pepper
1 Zucchini
1/4 Eggplant
Skewers
Marinade:
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp raspberry vinegar
1 tsp peppercorns crushed
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Begin with the marinade. Combine olive oil, vinegar, peppercorns, honey, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper into a large glass bowl and thoroughly blend the ingredients.
Cut the feta cheese and the vegetables (red pepper, yellow pepper, zucchini and eggplant) into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Coat evenly and cover with plastic wrap. Leave to marinade in a cool place for an hour or more.
Thread one piece of each vegetable and feta cheese onto the skewers. Put on the BBQ for about 2 – 3 minutes and enjoy with a delicious beef burger or steak.
