Kebabs have long since been a favorite amongst foodies. They are a perfect choice as a succulent snack with cocktails or an accompaniment to a main meal. The versatility of kebabs enables them to be prepared with any combination of meats, seafood, fruits and/or vegetables to suit everyone’s palate. The benefit of kebabs is they can be prepared in advance so you can spend time with your guests when they arrive rather than be slaving over the kitchen stove.
Kebabs can be found in a variety of forms from on a skewer to grilled, roasted, in stewed dishes of large or small cuts of meat, or even ground meat. The adaptation of kebabs has now also moved to being served as standalone dishes to within sandwiches or pitta breads. The kebab craze has definitely caught the world over and has become part of a well recognized and accepted cuisine around the globe.
Some essential tips when making kebabs:
· Ensure to wash all meats and seafood thoroughly before skewering
· Once marinated, place the kebabs in a refrigerator to enable the kebabs to set and also prevent any food-borne bacteria
· Marinating the kebabs overnight often gives that added flavor
· Slicing the meat into uniform sized chunks will allow for quick and even cooking
· Kebabs are best seasoned with your favorite herbs and spices
· Cooking methods can be varied between grilled, baked or barbecued
· A final tip – light basting of the kebabs with oil will prevent them from sticking and ensure they are turned over often for even cooking
