Italian Vegetable Kebabs
Add your favourite in-season vegetables to this simple kebab recipe.
In-season vegetables have a wonderful flavour when grilled. For this recipe, I chose an Italian theme, but you can switch things up in accordance to your menu. To get a Mexican kebab, swap the rosemary for cilantro, the lemon for lime, the balsamic with a teaspoon (5 mL) of chipotle pepper sauce, and add a pinch of cumin.
