Grilled Corn Wheels and Veggies with Dill Butter


I remember sometime I saw grilling corn in the form of wheels and thought of making a simple skewer recipe for dinner...I know it sounds silly, because these skewers for dinner?? Ok, I will explain.....Myself and Shoj were not hungry much, but wanted to eat something light and interesting, so came up with this idea. Actually we were full after eating these yummy and spicy skewers and love it a lot.

Ingredients:
-------------
1 large Corn on the cob cut into 6 thick pieces or you can use 2 corns
1 Onion quartered
6 cherry Tomatoes
6 mini Bella Mushrooms
1 Jalapeno Pepper cut into 6 pieces cross
Note: you can add any other vegetables as you like.
1/2 tsp Pepper powder
1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika powder (to get the smoky flavor)
1/2 tsp Cumin powder
Dill
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Olive Oil

To Make Dill Butter:
----------------------
1 tbsp Butter softened
1 tbsp Dill chopped
1 tsp Lemon juice
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:
----------
1. To make dill butter add all the ingredients and keep it aside or you can also put in the fridge for alter use and it will harden and come to a proper shape.


2. In a bowl mix all the spice powder.
3. Place the skewers in cold water for about 20 mins, this will avoid burning.


4. Arrange the vegetables on to the skewers starting with tomato, onion, chili, corn and top it with mushroom.


5. Now brush the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle salt and pepper on the top and then sprinkle all the spice mixture and coat all the vegetables well.


6. In a grilling pan or grill, when it's medium high hot place the skewers and grill each side until you get the grill marks for about 6-8 mins each side.


7. Immediately arrange the skewers in a serving plate and brush the dill butter on top of the vegetables when it's hot...this will melt the butter.


8. You can also serve this as a salad removing all the vegetables to a salad bowl and add some salad dressing, but I like it this way.
