Method

These lamb kebabs are marinated in cola to give them a delicious sweet and sticky glaze. Pair with a surprisingly simple homemade spicy tomato relish for a crowd-pleasing BBQ main.

  1. Put the lamb pieces in a large bowl and pour over the cola. Cover with clingfilm and chill for 2-3 hrs to marinate. Drain and discard the cola.
  2. To make the relish, heat the oil in a small pan, add the onion and garlic and cook over a gentle heat for 5 mins until softened. Add the chilli and cook for a further min. Turn up the heat and add the chopped tomatoes, sugar and white wine vinegar. Season to taste and simmer for 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  3. Thread 8 skewers with the lamb, courgette slices, peppers and mushrooms. Brush with the oil and cook on a preheated barbecue or griddle for 10-12 mins, turning regularly, until completely cooked. Brush with more oil if necessary. Serve with the relish and salad.
