Kebabs are such a fun way to celebrate summer and grilling. Everything you need is on one skewer so cooking and serving is super easy, and you can really personalize them any way you like. Here are some tips and recipes to try while it’s still hot out.
A great kebab has at least one protein and one vegetable cut into bite size so they cook at the same time. With some flavor profiles, you can also add more ingredients including fruit, and think outside the box with your proteins, especially if there are vegans or vegetarians to be served.
Whatever your choice of protein is, unless you’re using sausage, marinate it beforehand so when it hits the grill you get an extra explosion of flavor. You can marinade your proteins in anything from hot sauce, a vinaigrette, and any types of spices.
For a vegan combo, marinate cubes of tofu in soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha. Finish the kebabs with bell peppers and mushrooms.
For a chicken combo, marinate cubes of chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and either dry or fresh herbs like oregano, rosemary, and thyme. Add chunks of vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini squash, or red onion and grill to perfection.
