To prepare this delicious vegetable skewers recipe with flavored rice, we will start by ensuring that all the ingredients are fresh and ready. The first step is to cut the vegetables. Choose colorful peppers, fresh zucchini, and a sweet onion. Cut the pepper and zucchini into cubes of about 3 cm, and the onion into thicker slices to maintain a pleasant texture when cooked. Once you have finished cutting the vegetables, prepare the marinade.
In a sturdy plastic bag, add all the chopped vegetables. Pour the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar over them. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Seal the bag tightly and shake it vigorously so that all the vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade. Leave the bag in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the vegetables.
Meanwhile, rinse the rice under a stream of cold water to remove excess starch. Boil water in a pot. When the water starts to boil, add the rice and let it cook according to the package instructions. At this point, take the vegetables out of the refrigerator. If you are using wooden skewers, it is recommended to soak them in water for 10-15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Place the vegetables on the skewers, alternating colors for an appealing look. Arrange the skewers on a tray and put them in the oven on the grill setting. Let them cook, turning them occasionally and brushing them with the remaining marinade in the tray to keep them juicy. It is important that the vegetables are cooked well but not overcooked, to maintain a crunchy texture.
While the skewers are cooking, focus on the rice. Add your favorite seasonings: salt, pepper, mushroom stems, chopped onion, and a mix of dried herbs such as parsley, basil, lovage, thyme, and if you have it, a little tarragon. Mix the rice well to combine the flavors.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large platter. Remove the skewers from the oven and arrange them nicely on top of the rice. This combination not only looks appetizing but also offers a variety of flavors. If you want to add extra taste, you can grate some cheese on top of the skewers or add a spoonful of low-fat yogurt for a creamy contrast.
This recipe is perfect for a healthy meal full of vegetables and flavors and can be served either at a simple dinner or at lunch with friends. Enjoy every bite and relish the benefits that fresh vegetables and herbs bring!
