Vegetable Kabobs
1 Small eggplant about 3/4 lb. 2 Medium onions cut in wedges
- cut into 2" cubes - separate wedges into 2-3
3 Medium carrots sliced 1/2" - layers each
8 Small red potatoes 16 Whole mushrooms
3 Medium zucchini sliced 1" Herb marinade (see
1 Large red or green pepper - following recipe)
- seeded and cut into 1" sq. Salt and pepper to taste
Cook eggplant in 1" boiling water for 3 minutes and drain. Cook carrots in
1" boiling water until just tender crisp and drain. Cook unpeeled potatoes
in 1" boiling water for approximately 15 - 20 minutes. Drain and cut in
half. Place eggplant, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, peppers, onions and
mushrooms in a large plastic bag. Add marinade, seal bag well. Refrigerate
for 2 hours or overnight. Drain vegetables and reserve marinade. Using 8
metal skewers, thread vegetables, alternating varieties. Place on lightly
greased grill, over low heat. Cook, turning often, basting with the
reserved marinade for 10 - 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
Sprinkle lightly with salt before serving. Remaining marinade can be used
again. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. NOTE: if wooden skewers
are used, soak them in water for 15 - 20 minutes before using. This
prevents the wood from burning.
