Skewers are fun to make and look great served over rice. These are good especially if you want to bbq something and don't necessarily want to add meat. But you can easily add shrimp, chicken or cubed steak. The ingredients can be mixed and matched depending on what you have but I think keeping onions, peppers, mushrooms and a sweet fruit is a good base. I chose to use plantains. They hold up on the grill and give the skewer a more tropical taste. Pinapple would also be great. Make sure to marinate these before you grill them and then drizzle with some left over sauce when serving with rice.
Ingredients:
- green peppers
- red peppers
- red onion
- button or baby bella mushrooms
- ripe plantains (the black/yellow ones)
- pinapple
- tofu, chicken, shrimp, beef or a mix of all
- marinade: basalmic and oil, italian, terriayaki, orange juice/soy sauce, etc
- marinate veggies overnight in chosen marinade
- assemble skewers
- grill directly over flame or roast in the oven in roasting pan
- turn every 1-2 minutes to avoid sticking or burning of veggies
- drizzle extra marinade over skewers (for safety reasons if you are using seafood or meat do NOT reuse the old marinade)
- serve over white or brown rice
Enjoy!
