Introduction
This recipe's at its best when marinated overnight in the fridge, but if you're in a hurry you can cut it down to 20 minutes.These are great to toss on the BBQ or grill for a party. We serve them with wholemeal pita breads cut into quarters, spread with a little garlic and low-fat margarine and barbequed lightly. Mmm... toasty!
