Spicy Braaied Watermelon & Aubergine Skewers with Mint Dressing

13 Ingredients

Description

Look what you can do with watermelon; give your body a yummy dose of this juicy dessert that’s bursting with flavour.

Directions

1. Prepare your coals to medium high heat. Soak bamboo skewers in water for about 20 minutes, this prevents wood from burning or opt for metal skewers.

2. Brush aubergine slices with smoky BBQ sauce, olive oil and seasoning. Place on the grid and braai for 4 – 5 minutes a side or until cooked through. Set aside to cool and dice into squares.

3. Insert and alternate cubed watermelon, aubergine and a basil leaf onto each skewer. Brush skewers with extra smoky BBQ sauce and scatter with sweet and spicy rub.

4. Mix chopped mint, basil, chilli, red onion and oil together, season and set aside.

5. Place on the braai grid for about one minute to heat through, plate and serve dressed with mint sauce, chopped pistachios, radish and extra herbs. Serve and enjoy!
