Ingredients
Marinade:
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Skewers:
- 1 pound (5 to 6 links) chicken sausage links, cut into 1-inch pieces to yield 24 pieces
- 4 medium zucchini, ends trimmed, cut into twenty-four 1-inch-thick slices
- 1 large lemon, cut into three 1/2-inch-thick slices and each slice cut into quarters
- 2 fennel bulbs, ends trimmed, quartered
- 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into sixteen 1-inch-square pieces
- Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill
- Special equipment: Eight 10-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent scorching, or 8 metal skewers.
Directions
For the marinade: Whisk the oil, parsley, chives, soy sauce, garlic, lemon zest and pepper in a medium bowl.
For the skewers: Alternating the vegetables and meat, thread 3 pieces each of sausage, zucchini and lemon, and 2 pieces each of fennel and bell pepper onto each skewer. Pour or brush the marinade over the skewers. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until ready to grill.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Oil the grill with vegetable oil. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the sausage is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
Arrange on a platter and serve.

So delicious. I love fennel but have never been able to get the husband or kids to eat it. Grilling it changes the taste. The perfect bite was one piece of zucchini with one fennel and one chicken sausage. Incredible. I added the juice of one half a lemon to the marinade. I also used low-sodium soy sauce.

We had this for the 4th and everyone thought it was great. Easy to make. I used Italian chicken sausage. Also next time I would leave out the lemon. Didn't find it necessary.
