Method

  1. Mix together the lemon zest, rosemary and olive oil and set aside to infuse. Get 8 long skewers ready, if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 10 mins first.
  2. Thread 3 meatballs and pieces of different veg onto each skewer, alternating between each. Brush all over with the lemon and rosemary marinade.
  3. Preheat a barbecue or griddle pan until very hot. Barbecue the skewers for 12-15 mins, turning often, until the meat is cooked through and the veg is tender and lightly charred.
  4. Serve the kebabs with lemon wedges to squeeze over and some aioli to drizzle or dip, if you like.
