What better way to eat your veggies than barbecued?
Barbecuing brings out the natural sweetness in vegetables & adds a little smokiness to them as they get slathered in garlic chilli butter.
And if that’s not enough, then they’re served with a basil walnut pesto that’ll knock your sandals off.
To make the pesto, put basil, walnuts cheese, garlic, canola oil and a pinch of salt and pepper into a food processor bowl and process until finely chopped. Scrape mixture into a bowl. Stir in olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time until combined; set aside.
To make the skewers, in a small bowl, combine melted butter, chilli flakes & garlic; set aside.
Thread peppers & aubergine onto skewers. Light the barbecue. Cook skewers over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally & brushing with butter mixture, until veggies are cooked.
Arrange skewers on a platter or tray. Serve with pesto & extra basil leaves.
