Sausage and Vegetable Skewers with Lemon-Thyme Yogurt

Grilled sausage skewers with tender eggplant and mushrooms, topped by a tangy yogurt sauce.

For the sake of weeknight ease, these skewers feature already flavorful linguiça sausage, so there is no need for marinating. Seasoned slices of mushroom and eggplant sear on the same skewers, creating a pleasant mix of velvety, chewy, and meaty textures. They are served over a bed of greens, with a drizzle of lemon and herb infused yogurt sauce for a bright, tangy finish. There isn’t one right way to eat it, but I like to wrap each bite in a piece of toasty flatbread, for a fun little mouthful of flavor.

Any flatbreads or pitas will do but check out my recipe for easy sourdough skillet flatbreads which make the perfect accompaniment: https://foodandryne.com/easy-sourdough-skillet-flatbread/
