Grilled Chimichurri Vegetable Skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 lb zucchini, diced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 lb gold potatoes, diced into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, diced into 1 inch pieces
  • 8 oz container mushrooms, cut in half
  • 4-6 stainless steel skewers or bamboo skewers (if using bamboo, soak in water for at least 20 min prior to assembly)

Chimichurri Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch cilantro leaves, stems trimmed
  • 1 bunch parsley leaves, stems trimmed
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 3-4 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

  1. Start by boiling the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a pot. Cover by 1-2 inches in cold water. Season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then boil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes, or just until fork-tender. Drain & set aside.
  2. Prep the chimichurri sauce. Add all listed ingredients to a food processor. Pulse to combine. Taste and season with additional salt or ground black pepper. Set aside, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  3. Before assembling the kabobs, preheat grill to medium-high heat on grill, around 400 degree.
  4. Assemble the kabobs. Thread each skewer with potato, onion, zucchini, and mushroom, alternating as you go. Pour the prepared chimichurri over the vegetable kabobs, using a brush to ensure each skewer is nicely coated in the sauce. If there’s any remaining sauce, you can reserve it for serving.
  5. Once the grill is hot, place the kabobs on the grill, such that the kabobs run perpendicular to the grill grates. Grill 5 min per side or until vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Take off the grill and let the kabobs rest for 2-3 min before serving. Add any remaining chimichurri sauce, if you have any left. Enjoy!
