Method
- Soak 6 wooden skewers in water for 15 mins. Heat the barbecue or a griddle pan to high. Meanwhile, cut each courgette half into 3 lengths, then slice each of these lengths in half widthways. Thread alternating pieces of courgette and asparagus onto the skewers to create ‘ladders’.
- Brush the ladders with olive oil and cook for 5 mins each side. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle over the lemon zest and some seasoning to serve.
