Quick and Easy Kabobs
Sensational, succulent kabobs are quick and as easy as 1 - 2 - 3 to make!
Use these tips and charts to get started, then let your palate be your guide.
Here's how:
Choose meat, vegetable and brush-on sauce from Guide to Great Kabobs
(page 15). Thread meat and vegetables on bamboo or metal skewers. Grill,
turning and brushing occasionally with sauce, until meat and vegetables are
done. Use the Grilling Kabobs chart (page 15) as a guide. Grill tasty kabobs in
no time!
Kabob Success Tips
•
Soak bamboo skewers in water at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Leave a little space between foods threaded on skewers (tightly packed
•
food will not cook evenly).
To prevent sticking (and to make cleanup easier), brush cooking
•
surface with vegetable oil before grilling.
•
Sauces that contain sugar burn easily. Brush them on kabobs only
during last 5 to 10 minutes of grilling.
•
To avoid food-borne illnesses caused by eating undercooked or raw
meat, boil the sauce you've dipped your basting brush into before
serving with cooked kabobs.
