Chicken and Vegetable kebobs

Makes 6 servings
Marinade
¼ cup (125 ml) fresh lemon juice (juice of about 1½ medium lemons)
2 teaspoons (10 ml) Dijon-style mustard
½ teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
½ teaspoon (2 ml) freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh dill
½ teaspoon (2 mml) red pepper flakes

6 baby portobella mushrooms
In a small mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients except for the olive
oil. Once the mixture is well combined, slowly whisk in the olive oil. Pour into a
1- to 2-gallon (3.75 - 7.5 L) resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and toss to coat.

Fit the Cuisinart Griddler Combo with both of the grill plates and preheat to high.
® ™
Divide chicken and vegetables among skewers – each skewer should have 2
pieces of chicken, 2 pieces of zucchini, 2 pieces of pepper, and 1 mushroom.
Once the grill is preheated, arrange the prepared kebobs across the grill plates
evenly. Grill for 15 to 18 minutes, turning a quarter-turn every 4 minutes, or until
chicken is completely cooked and vegetables are tender with nice grill marks.

Beef Burgers with Spicy P otato Wedges
Makes 4 servings
1 pound (500 g) potatoes, cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm) wedges
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) chili powder
1½ pounds (750 g) ground chuck
1 medium onion, very finely chopped or grated
½ teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
½ teaspoon (2 ml) freshly ground black pepper
Fit the Cuisinart ® Griddler ™ Combo with one griddle plate and one grill plate;
preheat both to high.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil and spices. Reserve.
In a separate large bowl, gently mix the ground meat with the onion, salt and
pepper. Form into 6-ounce (170 g) patties, making a small indent in the center of
each patty (this keeps the burgers even in size while grilling).
Once the grill is preheated, place half of the potato wedges on the griddle side of
the grill. Flip after browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Continue cooking on opposite
side for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
Once the second batch of potatoes has been placed on the griddle plate, evenly
space the burgers on the grill side. Flip the burgers between 5 to 6 minutes, and
continue cooking on opposite side until desired doneness.
