I don’t usually ever measure ingredients when I cook --- but I do measure the taste!!!!! And I LOVE barbecuing! So when I make shishkebabs, I make plenty. If there are guests for dinner, no problem---- if not, I still make up a large batch, and fr... More

Ingredients
  • Have 6 to eight large metal skewers ready… and the BBQ lit. A low flame is all that’s needed to cook these. If you’re using charcoal, have it burned down to fine glow to prevent a lot of flaming.
  • 1 to ½ lbs steak, 1” thickness, cut into large cubes
  • 1 to ½ lbs butterfly-cut pork chops, 1” thickness, cut into large cubes
  • 1 to ½ lbs chicken breast , boneless, cut into large cubes
  • 2-3 large onions quartered
  • 2 green sweet peppers, cut into large chunks
  • 2 red sweet peppers, cut into large chunks
  • 2 yellow sweet pepper, cut into large chunks
  • 2 medium potatoes, sliced about ½ inch thickness.
  • 2 -3 medium-sized carrots, sliced into medium-sized, skewerable chunks.

Directions
  1. Slip the pieces onto the skewers in whatever fashion you prefer, although I make sure no potato pieces are on the outside ends -- the reason being that they’ll dry out rather than cook . If the potato pieces are placed between the other layers, they cook just beautifully, and retain the moistness.
  2. BBQ, turning frequently, until done to your taste.
  3. Take a fork, and on the end of the skewer closest to you, push the food off the skewer onto the plate.
  4. Add salt, pepper or whatever spices you like, and enjoy!
  5. Hint:
  6. For those who prefer unsalted foods, McCormick's has a great substitute called "No Added Salt Citrus and Pepper Seasoning". It's terrific. I use it all the time in place of salt, and as a result, never miss using salt!
  7. Another hint:
  8. You might want to do these in the convection oven in the winter too--- using the broiler, they turn out great this way!

Chef, my fiance is coming here tomorrow I hope to make this. Please wish me luck.


I love making kebabs. One question, how do you avoid the chicken breasts getting to done while the other (pork mainly) is cooking? Just wondering.
