This is a very colorful and tasty arrangement of marinated and then
|
skewered and grilled vegetables and fish. The marinade, called
|
chermoulla, is a blend of fragrant seasonings, oil, and lemon juice.
|
In this version I've suggested my favorite vegetables for kebabs. You
|
should choose your own favorites; some other good choices are
|
eggplants, mushrooms, and onions. special equipment: skewers (if you
|
are using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 1/2 hr. and fill
|
them out to the ends so the skewers won't burn)
|
|
Combine the ingredients for the chermoulla. Cut the fish into 1-inch
|
cubes. Similarily, cut the vegetables into 1-inch cubes. Place the
|
fish and vegetables in the chermoulla and marinate, refrigerated, for
|
2 hours.
|
When you are ready to assemble the kebab, soften the bay leaves in
|
boiling water for several minutes. Alternate the tomatoes, peppers,
|
yellow squash, and fish on skewers. Place a bay leaf occasionally on
|
the skewers next to the fish. Reserve the chermoulla.
|
Cover the broiler pan with foil and plkace the kebabs on it about
|
an inch apart. Broil for 15 to 20 minutes, basting with the reserved
|
chermoulla, and turning frequently to cook evenly.
|
Serve on rice or in pita bread and garnish with lemon wedges and
|
sprigs of mint. From Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant
