Method
- 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.
- Thread 3 meatballs and pieces of different veg onto each skewer, alternating between each. Brush all over with the lemon and rosemary marinade.
- 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.
- Serve the kebabs with lemon wedges to squeeze over and some aioli to drizzle or dip, if you like.
