Welcome To The World Best Shish Kabob Recipe

Serves four

NOTE: For best results, you will want a BBQ with charcoal for this recipe.

The Shish Kabobs have become extremely popular in sophisticated food culture in recent years. Originally referred to as “Kabobs” most people enjoy this meal at cookouts, birthdays and on restaurant menus. The word means “grilled meats on a skewer” and can include a wide variety of styles. The Shish Kabob originates in the middle east and you can find variations in every country of the old world. Some of the more common spells include: kabob, kebob, kebap, kabab, kabobski and kebab.

Package of shish kabob skewers (metal or wood, we prefer wood)
2 Chicken breast
4 Spicy Sausages
12 Mushrooms
1/2 Green Pepper
1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 Yellow Pepper
1/2 Onion
1 Pineapple (Canned)
Chicken marinating sauce
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

1. Chop the chicken and marinate with your sauce of choice (Chipolte sauce is our favorite).

2. Chop vegetables and sausage.

3. Put all the vegetables together into a bowl and cover in olive oil. Crack pepper over the vegetables (salt is optional).

4. Place all the vegetables in random order on the skewer.

5. Place marinated and sausage on skewers.

6. Put shish kabobs on BBQ and grill to perfection.

NOTE: Although traditional Shish Kabobs are cooked with the meat and vegetables together, we have found the best results with putting the meat and vegetables onseparate skewers.

Traditionally this dish is served with white basmati rice, pita bread and taziki.
