The Perfect Souvlaki

I recently discovered Violife vegan cheese, which has made me a very happy person.  It's all plant-based and cruelty free and delish and, best of all, I can serve it to my friends who are allergic to gluten and soy and nuts because it's free of all those common allergens.   Each package of Violife cheese comes in a paper wrapper and, on the inside (don't recycle it just yet!) is always a recipe.  The most recent one, I have to share because it makes the perfect veggie souvlaki for grilling parties, lunch or a light dinner and you can whip it up in just 15 minutes:

You'll need:

1. 2 Violife Meditterranean style blocks of vegan cheese
(for stores near you go to https://violifefoods.com)
2. Some chunky sliced vegetables such as courgette, aubergine, bell pepper
3. Cherry tomatoes
4. Lemon juice
5. Oregano, parsley and rosemary
6. Olive oil

Directions:
Place the Violife blocks in a large bowl, add the veggies, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, sprinkle on the oregano, parsley and rosemary. Stir it all well.

Let it marinade and preheat a pan on high.

Thread the veggies and blocks of vegan cheese onto skewers and grill each skewer on high heat for about 12 minutes, turning once on each side until nicely colored and softened. Sprinkle with leftover marinade as they grill.

Enjoy!
