10 bamboo or wooden skewers—soaked in water for around 30 minutes to prevent from burning

20 cherry tomatoes

14 oz (420g) fresh tuna—cut into 30 even-size cubes

1 red onion—cut into wedges

1 green pepper (capsicum)—cut into 1½-inch squares

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice (plus lemon wedges for serving)

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 cloves garlic—minced (crushed)

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

THREAD the tuna, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, red onion and green pepper evenly onto each skewer. MIX together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until well combined and pour over the prepared tuna and vegetable skewers. MARINATE, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning the skewers halfway through marination. COOK the skewers on a hot grill for 12 minutes, turning and brushing regularly with the marinade. SERVE the skewers with lemon wedges for squeezing.
