Mushroom and cauliflower kebabs tips
Labneh used in this recipe is great with the sauce but also for dipping. It’s a type of strained yoghurt which helps lighten the richness. If you are cooking for somebody who is vegan, try and clean the grates properly and separately from the meat. You can use any green, red or yellow peppers. Pablano peppers which are milder than jalapeños and also love a bit of char over an open fire which improves the flavour.
