Tasty vegie skewers filled with all the colours of the rainbow with haloumi, cherry tomatoes, capsicums, beetroot and zucchini.

Ingredients

Quinoa

¾ cup(s), (130g), tricolour variety, rinsed

Haloumi cheese

200 g, cut into 3cm pieces

Tomato(es)

16 small, red grape

Yellow capsicum

1 medium, cut into 3cm pieces

Beetroot, cooked without added fat

250 g, thickly, sliced

Zucchini

2 small, cut into 1cm thick slices

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

⅓ cup(s), chopped, plus extra to garnish

Fresh mint

⅓ cup(s), chopped, plus extra sprigs to garnish

Green shallot(s)

2 individual, thinly sliced

Lemon juice

2 tbs

Extra virgin olive oil

1 tbs

Lemon(s)

1 medium, wedges to serve

Oil spray

2 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Place quinoa in a large saucepan with 1½ cups (375ml) cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10–12 minutes or until liquid has absorbed and quinoa is tender. Cool.
  2. Meanwhile, thread haloumi, tomatoes, capsicum, beetroot, and zucchini, alternately, onto 8 wooden skewers (see tip). Preheat a chargrill or barbecue over medium-high heat. Lightly spray skewers with oil and cook for 2 minutes each side or until lightly charred and tender.
  3. Add parsley, mint, shallots, juice and oil to quinoa and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Serve skewers with quinoa salad, lemon wedges and extra mint and parsley.

Notes

Soak skewers in cold water for 10 minutes before using to stop them burning during cooking. You can buy cooked beetroot in packets in the fresh produce section of most major supermarkets. If unavailable you could use finger eggplants or canned whole baby beetroot (drained).
