How to make Vegetarian Anticuchos:
To start preparing your vegan anticuchos, wash all the vegetables very well, cut them into medium squares. Corn on the cob is a little more complicated, cut it into thin pieces using a serrated knife. Don’t worry, it’s easy to go through once it’s chopped.
On the other hand, the mushrooms, if they are small, leave them like that. If they are very large, you can cut them in half. To start assembling the anticuchos, stick the ingredients on a toothpick. You can mark the height of a fist approximately to be able to manipulate them more easily. In a container, mix the olive oil with the merkén, the oregano and the salt. If you don’t have merkén, you can use hot or smoked paprika.
Spread the mixture over the anticuchos with a brush or by serving it little by little on top of each skewer. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or grill for 15 to 20 minutes, check that they are well browned. Dress the vegetarian antituchos to taste with lemon and ketchup, you can also accompany them with mustard or other sauces that you like. Perfect for a vegetarian barbecue!
