1. Marinade: an infusion of flavor and delicacy – The secret to creating unforgettable grilled kebabs lies in the marinade. The marinade is full of flavor and works magic on your chosen meats, vegetables and even tofu. A well-prepared marinade can take the flavor of any meat protein to a completely fresh level. Combine your favorite herbs, spices, citrus fruits and a little oil to create a marinade that will delight your taste buds. Let the skewers soak up the goodness for a few hours or even overnight for maximum effect!
2. The art of shish kebab – Now comes the fun part – making the kebab! Kabobs are incredibly versatile. Mix and match different ingredients, but don’t forget to leave space between pieces to ensure even cooking. Whether you choose a single ingredient or a blend of flavors, putting together kebabs is the art of grilling.
3. For the grill – Time to get outside and fire up the grill! Preheat it over medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the kebabs on the grill and listen to the satisfying sizzle. Turn them occasionally to achieve a nice, even char that will add dimension to your kabobs. Different ingredients have different cooking times, so pay attention to them to avoid over- or under-cooking. When your kebabs are tender, it’s time to put them on a plate and eat them!
Grilled kebabs are a great way to add color and flavor to your summer grilling set. Add these grilled masterpieces and get original with delicious variations.
