-
- To make harissa sauce, take all the ingredients of the Harissa marination in a mixer grinder jar and blitz it to a smooth paste.
- Adjust the consistency by adding some oil, check the seasoning. Keep aside.
- To make chimichurri, grind all the ingredients of the marinade in another grinder jar and repeat the process as above.
Now in two mixing bowls, divide all the vegetables equally, add harissa in one bowl and chimichurri in another bowl of vegetables. - Mix the vegetables and the prepared sauces evenly and rest aside for some time.
- Next take the cottage cheese and divide in two equal potions, marinating each potion in the two different marinades gently.
- Make sure the cottage cheese is handled gently as it tends to break easily.
- Turn on the barbecue to preheat. Now arrange the vegetables, cottage cheese and pineapple pieces in steel skewers or satay sticks at even distance making sure one sauce is used on one skewer. Once done with the arrangement,place the skewers on the hot barbecue and brush some oil on them.
- Keep rotating the skewers to help equal cooking from all the sides. Once done and if it looks dry then apply some oil before removing on a serving platter.
Serve hot with a sauce or dip of your choice.
