Kabobs make a great “do it yourself” dinner.  Let your guests choose what is on their skewer.  Offer a choice of sauces – bbq, Tex-Mex, curry, dill, etc.  Rice or potatoes and a green salad and you have a party!

Almost any meat can be broiled or bbqed on skewers. Beef, lamb, pork, chicken:  cut in 1 inch cubes, marinate (or not).  Skewer alone and do a second skewer with the vegetables.  Plan on 1/3 – 1/4 pound of meat total per person.  (not 1/4 of each kind.)

Vegetables:  skewer things together that will cook in the same length of time – zucchini, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes or par boiled (or microwave) potatoes, carrots, onions, beets, even corn on the cob (cut into 3 inch pieces).  Make up stuff.

Brush with butter or oil – seasoned or not.

If using wood skewers, soak them in water for 1/2 hr.

Grill – or broil in oven.
