Surf and turf-style skewers with barbecued zucchini
If there's anything more appealing than a big platter of barbecue skewers then we don't want to know about it.
Ingredients (8)
- 2 bunches oregano, leaves picked, plus extra leaves to serve
- 5 garlic cloves, peeled
- 3 green chillies, seeds removed, chopped
- Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus extra lemon wedges to serve
- 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 8 chicken wings
- 8 large, unpeeled green king prawns
- 1 each yellow and green zucchini, cut into 3cm pieces
Method
-
1.Using a mortar and pestle, pound oregano, garlic, chilli, lemon zest, 2 tbs oil and a pinch of salt flakes to a paste.
-
2.Place chicken wings and prawns on a tray and rub all over with half the paste. Cover and chill remaining paste until needed. Cover and chill chicken wings and prawns overnight to marinate.
-
3.The next day, preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease a large baking tray and line with baking paper.
-
4.Thread each chicken wing onto a skewer, straightening as you do. Thread prawns onto skewers, tail to head, then place on a tray and chill until needed.
-
5.Transfer chicken skewers to prepared tray and roast for 1 hour or until cooked.
-
6.Meanwhile, thread zucchini onto skewers, alternating colours, and place on a tray. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbs oil and set aside.
-
7.To make the dressing, stir lemon juice through reserved paste.
-
8.Heat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high heat. Grill all skewers for 3 minutes each side or until grill marks appear on chicken, prawns are cooked through and zucchini is tender.
-
9.Transfer skewers to a platter, drizzle with dressing and scatter with extra oregano. Serve with lemon wedges.
