Directions

10 mins to prep

20 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, or until just tender enough for a skewer to pass through easily. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    To make the mustard marinade, whisk together the dijon mustard, garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Add the onion, capsicum, zucchini, and pre-cooked potatoes to the marinade bowl and toss well to coat evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Thread the vegetables onto skewers. If time allows, cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to marinate.

  5. Step 5

    To make the jalapeño sauce, add the hemp seeds, tahini, lime juice, olive oil, jalapeño, garlic, water, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, then add the coriander and pulse briefly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  6. Step 6

    Preheat a BBQ or oven to 200°C. Place the skewers on a grill or lined baking tray and cook for 20–25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the skewers hot with jalapeño sauce on the side.
