Recipe: Grilled Potato Kabobs with Lemon-Herb Drizzle

GRILLED POTATO KABOBS WITH LEMON-HERB DRIZZLE

FOR THE LEMON-HERB DRIZZLE:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, rosemary, marjoram and sage)
1/2 tsp. sea salt, or to taste
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
FOR THE POTATO KABOBS:
1 lb. russet potatoes, scrubbed
1 (12 oz.) pkg. precooked chicken sausage, sliced 1/2-inch thick on the diagonal
2 ears corn cut in 1-inch pieces
2 bell peppers (any color), seeded and cubed
1 zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick on the diagonal

TO MAKE THE LEMON-HERB DRIZZLE:
Heat olive oil in a small saucepan until very hot; take off heat and
stir in garlic. Let cool, then stir in herbs, salt, lemon juice and pepper; set aside.

TO MAKE THE POTATO KABOBS:
Place potatoes in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. If using plastic wrap, make sure plastic wrap is not touching any ingredients and poke one small hole in cover to vent. Microwave on high for 10 to 12 minutes or until potatoes are tender (cooking time may vary depending on microwave). Use oven mitts to carefully remove from microwave.

When cool enough to handle, cut into large chunks. Thread potatoes, sausage and vegetables onto skewers.

Grill over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning frequently and brushing with a little of the herb mixture during the last few minutes of cooking. Remove from grill and place on a platter; drizzle with remaining herb mixture.
