Sweet jerk veggie skewers

Step by Step

Step 1

Fire up your barbecue so that it’s ready for direct grilling (cooking directly over the heat). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes. Cut the vegetables into 3-4cm chunks. In a large bowl, mix together the vegetables and tofu with some salt and pepper, the jerk seasoning and oil.

Step 2

Divide the dressed vegetables and tofu between 8 skewers, ensuring that you get a well-balanced mixture of everything on each skewer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes until lightly charred and tender. Add the lime halves to the grill for 1-2 minutes, until charred.

Step 3

Mix together the barbecue sauce and stock in a small ovenproof saucepan, then put on the barbecue grill, stirring, until slightly thickened, to make a gravy. Put the skewers on a platter with a jug of the gravy for pouring and the charred lime wedges to squeeze over.
