Serves 6

  • 1 small Red Cabbage
  • 1 head Fennel
  • 1 orange Bell Pepper, cut into 1 1/2 inch dice
  • 1 Eggplant
  • 2 Zucchini, sliced thickly diagonally
  • Olive Oil for brushing
  • 6 Rosemary Twigs, about 6 inches long, soaked in water for 8 hours
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Put the red cabbage on its side on a chopping board and cut through the middle of the stem and heart. Divide each piece into four, including a bit of the stem in the slice to hold it together. Prepare the fennel in the same way.
  • Blanch the red cabbage and fennel in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain well.
  • With a wooden skewer, pierce a hole through the middle of each piece of vegetable.
  • On to each rosemary twig, thread a piece of orange bell pepper, fennel, red cabbage, eggplant, and zucchini, pushing the rosemary through the holes,
  • Brush liberally with olive oil and season with plenty of salt and pepper.
  • Cook over a hot grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve hot.
