Method
- If using wooden skewers, soak 8 long skewers in water to prevent them burning. In a food processor, whizz together the parsley, basil, garlic, lemon juice and oil. Season, then remove about half and put in a large bowl. Add the vegetables and cheese and toss everything together to coat.
- Thread 2 pieces of cheese and 2 of each vegetable onto each skewer. When the barbecue is hot, cook the skewers for 15-20 mins, turning every so often.
- While the skewers cook, add the shallots and capers to the food processor and whizz together with the remaining sauce ingredients. Pour into a small bowl, season and serve with the skewers, plus lemon wedges for squeezing over.
