Kebabs Tips

Kebabs Cooking Tips

Cook your kebabs on the grill using the direct grilling method - directly over the coals. The coals should be hot. Turn the kebabs once and be careful not to overcook them.
To ensure even cooking of all kebab ingredients, use large pieces of meat and/or seafood and cut any vegetables you add in equal size pieces.
Kebabs can be grilled, broiled or baked.
Fatty meats can be cooked at a higher temperature. Lean meats will need a longer time at a lower heat.
When using fish, use firm-textured fish such as salmon, tuna, mahi mahi, swordfish, shark, or shellfish.
Cut meats evenly in size in about 1 to 2-inch cubes.
When marinading, use a large, heavy-duty plastic zip bag. Get all the air out of the bag before sealing and turn the bag often while marinating. Always marinate at least 30 minutes before cooking.
A light spray of cooking oil will help keep the kebabs from sticking. Turn the kebabs often for even cooking.
Alternate meat with vegetables and fruit on the skewers. Be creative!
