Instructions
-
Step 1
Finely chop the parsley and garlic. Stir them in a bowl with the oregano, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, 4 tbsp (60 ml) olive oil, ½ tsp (3 gr) salt, and black pepper; set the chimichurri aside so the flavors can blend.

Cut the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion as specified. Clean and trim the mushrooms, and leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 3
Preheat the grill on high heat, then clean the cooking grate.

Thread the prepared vegetables alternately onto the skewers. Brush with 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil and season evenly with ½ tsp (3 gr) salt and 1 gr black pepper.
-
Step 5
Reduce the grill to medium heat and cook the skewers, turning every few minutes, until the vegetables are browned and tender but not collapsing.
-
Step 6
Transfer the skewers to a platter and spoon the rested chimichurri over them. Serve the remaining sauce alongside.
