I like the possibilities of combining different items on a kabob. And how difficult can it be to take a fork and slide the stuff off the skewer? No, no, I mean it is a lot of work to prepare to then just slide them off the skewer like every other meal. Does that make sense? The prep is the timely part not the slide part. |

I’m so curious why your prep work is so much more for kabobs. Whether I grill meat and veggies separately on the grill or on a skewer, there’s minimal prep time difference for me. I still have to cut up the vegetables and I still have to cut my meat into smaller portions so the cooking time is quicker and even. |

LOVE them! But they’re definitely more work when you put them on skewers and we’re pretty lazy like that when it comes to dinner. SO what we do instead is marinate the cubed meat like usual with pineapple teriyaki and move it to a foil pan where we mix it up with red, yellow, orange and green peppers, pineapple chunks, baby mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and onion. Baste all of that with more marinade and put the whole pan on the grill covered with foil long enough to cook the meat. Scoop it out with a slotted spoon and serve over rice. It’s WAY faster that way and it tastes the same. Do tell about this pineapple teriyaki marinade? 😋😋 Sure! www.mccormick.com/lawrys/flavors/marinades/teriyakiIt’s really good and super easy. I always buy two bottles because DH tends to be a little heavy handed with it for the meat and I don’t like brushing the veggies with the meat juice infused marinade that the raw meat was soaking in, LOL. |

It isn’t the cutting up that takes longer, it’s the skewering that definitely takes me longer because I have to handle all of the individual pieces. Plus it tends to make a huge mess with all the sticky marinade and pineapple juice that drips all over everything that I then have to clean up after the fact. If I’m just mixing it all up in a foil pan a lot of that time and mess is avoided. |

We often do kabobs on the grill. A trick we do is to put all the same meat on skewers and veggies or others. It makes it easie when he same things are on the same skewers. Once all are cooked, we place then remove the items from the skewers and place them on a warmed decorative platter and use tongs to pick what you want! We have a green salad and garlic bread or rolls with it.
