Ingredients

Method

Special equipment: Special equipment: eight 10-inch wooden skewers, soaked in water for about 30 minutes

  1. For the marinade: In a medium glass bowl, mix together the onions, garlic, oil, vinegar, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Add the fish and courgettes/squash and marinate at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  3. For the chimichurri: Combine the basil, parsley, onions, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor bowl, and pulse until the ingredients are just combined and chunky.
  4. Preheat the grill on high. Oil the grates well.
  5. For the fish skewers: Thread the marinated fish and squash onto the soaked skewers, 2 pieces of fish per skewer. Place 1 cherry tomato on the end of each skewer. Place on the grill and cook until lightly charred on the outside and the fish is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. 
  6. While the fish is still warm, drizzle with a little basil chimichurri and serve more on the side for dipping.
