Mixed Grill Kabobs

I really like kabobs. They are easy to make, and you can make them any variety of ways. They're so versatile!

Mixed Grill Kabobs

One package vegan chicken, cut into cubes
One package Gardein Beefless Tips
One package vegan sausage, cut into thick slices
Assorted fresh vegetables, cut into large chunks
1/3 c. vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 T. shredded lime peel
1/4 c. lime juice
2 t. crushed rosemary
1 T. olive oil

Place the everything in a ziploc baggie, seal, and shake well to coat everything as evenly as possible. Let marinate in the fridge overnight.

Drain well, but reserve any leftover marinade. Thread, in random fashion, the meats and vegetables on skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them first!) Grill over medium heat, basting periodically with the leftover marinade. Cook until veggies are nicely cooked. Serve. Enjoy!

Fruit Kabobs

I'm not sure anyone in my family is partial to cooked fruit, but these kabobs changed their minds.

Fruit Kabobs

Apples, bananas, kiwis, peaches, and pineapple, all peeled and cut into chunks
Strawberries, stems removed
2 T. vegetable oil
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. lime juice
1 t. cinnamon
Brandy, optional

Thread fruit onto skewers (if wooden, soak first). Mix the oil, sugar, lime juice, and cinnamon together, and brush on the fruit. Grill over medium until just starting to brown. Watch closely, because they can burn quickly! Once they are off the grill, if you are so inclined, drizzle on some brandy. Serve. Enjoy!

Jerk Kabobs

Summer's here and the time is right for...grilling. Gosh how my family loves to grill! They often go for the tried and true, but every now and then I can convince them to try something new or different. Like these kabobs...

Jerk Kabobs

One red onion, cut into chunks
One yellow, green, or red bell pepper (or all!), cut into chunks
One zucchini, sliced into thick coins
Whole mushrooms
Cherry or grape tomatoes
1 t. thyme
1 t. sugar
1 t. salt
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. onion powder
1/2 t. cayenne
1/2 t. ground allspice
1/2 t. smoked paprika
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
1/4 t. black pepper

Mix all the spices together. Thread the vegetables on skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, like we do, soak them in water first. Once all the skewers are threaded, brush the kabobs with olive oil, then sprinkle on the spices, being sure to to coat well. Cook over a hot, oiled grill, about five minutes per side, or until done. Serve. Enjoy!
