Spicy Grilled Veggie Skewers Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups packed cilantro leaves
• 8 cloves garlic (peeled)
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce (sub soy for vegan BBQ skewers)
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 pounds vegetables (cut into bite-sized pieces (any combination of mushrooms, peppers, scallion, zucchini, and yellow summer squash))

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the cilantro, garlic, fish sauce, water, pepper, and chili-garlic sauce in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to form a paste.

2. 2

   With the processor running, pour the oil through the lid spout in a slow stream. Use a spatula to scrape the marinade out of the processor and pour it over the vegetables. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill for medium heat. Thread the marinated vegetables onto metal skewers (or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes).

4. 4

   Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning frequently to prevent burning, until tender and browned around the edges.

5. 5

   Serve with rice, noodles, or as a side dish to the main event!
