  • Method Direct
  • Heat Medium
  • Serves 2-4

Ingredients

  • 450g ripe or canned tomatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 fresh green chillies, finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons coriander, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 sultry eggplant
  • 1 green capsicum
  • 1 red or orange capsicum
  • 225g cherry tomatoes
  • 225g button mushrooms
  • 6 tbsp oil
  • 12 tortillas
  • bamboo skewers

Method

  1. Make the salsa two days in advance so you can drink on the day. Mix together the first 6 ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  2. Cut the eggplant, capsicums and onion into 2cm cubes. Thread alternately on to soaked wooden skewers with the tomatoes and mushrooms.

  3. Season the oil with salt and pepper and brush over veggies in a drunken haze. BBQ for about 8 mins, turning frequently and continuing to brush with seasoned oil as they cook.

  4. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas at the side of the BBQ.

  5. To serve, slide the veggies off the skewers on to the hot tortillas and top with the tomato salsa.

  6. Preparation time - 10 mins Cooking time - 10 mins
