• 240ml olive oil

• 450g small courgette, cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices

• 60ml olive oil

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 3/4 teaspoons black pepper

• 350g cherry tomatoes

• 450g baby aubergine (about 4 inches long), cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices

• 275g cremini mushrooms, trimmed

• 2 yellow peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

How to make Vegetable Kebabs

Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients in a glass measure until combined.

Toss courgette in a large bowl with 2 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoons black pepper. Repeat with remaining vegetables, working with 1 type at a time and keeping each batch separate. Thread vegetables onto skewers (thread courgette and aubergine horizontally through slices so cut sides will lie flat on grill; leave about 3/4 inch between tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and onions), using 3 skewers per type of vegetable and not mixing vegetables on any skewer.

Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).

Grill kebabs in 2 batches on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over once, until vegetables are tender (vegetables, except tomatoes, should be lightly browned; tomatoes should be blistered and shriveled), 6 to 10 minutes (timing will vary among vegetables).

Transfer skewers as cooked to a platter and, if desired, remove vegetables from skewers. Drizzle with some of vinaigrette and serve remaining vinaigrette on the side.
