Vegan braai pineapple kebabs

Ingredients

MARINADE

4 tbsp umeboshi paste, see notes below
2 tsp Chinese black vinegar
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp shaoxing wine
2 cloves garlic, peeled
¼ tsp Chinese five-spice
¼ tsp dried chilli flakes

SKEWERS

300g block tempeh, see notes below
½ pineapple, peeled and cored

TO SERVE

2 spring onions, finely chopped
½ a small bunch coriander, leaves picked
a pinch dried chilli flakes

Method

To make the marinade, put all of the ingredients into a food processor and whizz until smooth.
To make the skewers, cut the tempeh into 12 x 3-4cm cubes and put in a large bowl. Pour over the marinade and cover. Being careful not to break up the tempeh, gently massage the cubes, making sure they are all covered in marinade. Put in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, take 6 bamboo skewers and soak them in water. Slice the pineapple into 12 x 3-4cm wedges.
Remove the tempeh from the fridge and skewer, along with the pineapple, alternating as you go. Using a pastry brush, baste the tempeh with any left-over marinade and put on a BBQ or hot griddle pan.
Grill, rotating every few minutes, until the pineapple is caramelised and the tempeh is nicely browned, brushing with more of the marinade as you go.
Top with the spring onions, coriander and chilli flakes to serve.

Aubergine braai kebabs with onion salsa

Ingredients

3 aubergines, sliced lengthways into ½cm slices
3 tbsp pomegranate molasses
2 tbsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp aleppo pepper flakes, (see cook’s notes)
6 tbsp olive oil

CHARRED ONION SALSA

4 medium onions, sliced into thick rounds
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp mint leaves, finely shredded
½ tbsp dried chilli flakes
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice

TO SERVE

couscous mixed with soft herbs, (such as mint and coriander)
greek yogurt, seasoned with salt

Method

STEP 1

Light the barbecue. Meanwhile, sprinkle the aubergine slices on both sides with 1 tbsp of salt. Allow to drain in a colander or sieve for 30 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.
STEP 2

To make the salsa, put the onion slices over direct heat on the barbecue (skewering them first will make them more stable) and cook for 8 minutes or until lightly charred on both sides. Finely chop and mix with the other salsa ingredients, plus some salt and pepper. Set aside.
STEP 3

Combine the molasses, cumin, cinnamon, aleppo pepper, sumac and olive oil, and mix to a paste. Brush evenly over the aubergine slices and thread them, concertina style, onto six skewers, packing them quite tightly.
STEP 4

Cook on the barbecue for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until soft and lightly charred. Serve with the onion salsa, herby couscous and yogurt.

Ingredients

For crispy chickpeas

1 15-oz can chickpeas
1 tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest

For dressing

1/4 c. olive oil
1 tsp. grated lemon zest plus 1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 c. tahini
1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. capers plus 1 tsp caper brine
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and pepper
For salad
4 thick slices bread
3 tbsp.
olive oil
2 small red onions, cut into thick rounds
Kosher salt and pepper
2 bunches small radishes
1 clove garlic, cut in half
2 heads gem lettuce or romaine hearts, leaves separated

Directions

Make the Crispy Chickpeas:

Heat oven to 220°c. Rinse chickpeas; pat very dry with paper towels, discarding any loose skins.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss chickpeas with olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast, shaking occasionally, until crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove from oven and transfer to a bowl and toss with lemon zest. Chickpeas will continue to crisp as they cool.

Make the Dressing and Salad:

Heat grill to medium.
Make dressing: In a mini blender or food processor, puree all dressing ingredients, until smooth, adding 1 tablespoon water at a time to adjust consistency and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Set dressing aside.
Make salad: Brush bread with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Brush onion slices with 1 tablespoon oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Toss radishes with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and season with a pinch of salt. Thread radishes onto small skewers.
Grill bread until toasty, 2 to 3 minutes per side; immediately rub with garlic. Grill onions and radishes until tender, about 5 minutes per side for onions and 6 to 8 minutes for radishes.
Tear bread into pieces and separate onion rings. Toss lettuce with half the dressing to coat. Gently fold in grilled croutons and onion rings. Serve with radish skewers, crispy chickpeas, and remaining dressing for drizzling or dipping.
