Grilled Veggie Skewers




For the marindade:
• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon dried basil leaves
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• Fresh ground pepper

Mix all ingredients well. Set into refrigerator to chill.

For the Veggies:
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 yellow onion
• 2 zucchini
• 2 summer squash
• 1 8 oz. package crimini mushrooms, rinsed and stems removed

Slice up all veggies into 1 inch or so pieces. Put them in a large mixing bowl and coat with the marinade, toss to coat and stir well. Let marinade chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

String the veggies onto skewers (wood, metal or wire) and cook on the barbecue until you reach your desired soft/firmness; about 20 minutes.

NOTE: For wood skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes prior to stringing veggies.

Enjoy!
