Shishito peppers and oyster mushrooms cook quickly on the grill and make for a juicy, flavourful combination. A sauce made with harissa paste and honey and vinegar adds complexity and heat. Ensure crispy mushrooms by keeping them as dry as possible before grilling.—Eshun Mott


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 6 tbsp olive oil , divided
  • 1 227 g bag shisito peppers
  • 200 g baby king oyster mushrooms , halved lengthwise if thick
  • salt and pepper , to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine harissa, honey and vinegar in a small bowl. Taste and whisk in up to 2 tbsp oil to decrease the spice level as desired. Set aside.
  2. Preheat barbecue to high. Toss peppers and mushrooms with remaining 4 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Divide among 6 metal skewers (or wooden skewers that have been soaked for 30 min).
  3. Grill for 3 minutes, lid closed and turning once halfway, until vegetables are grill-marked and tender. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with harissa sauce.
