About Kebabs & Skewers
Kebabs and skewers are small pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables, or shaped ground meat, cooked on sticks. A good marinade of oil, lemon or yogurt, garlic, and spices adds flavor and helps keep the meat tender. They can be cooked on a grill, under the broiler, or in a hot oven.
Because the pieces are small and exposed to direct heat, they cook faster than roasts and get a lovely charred edge. They are less saucy than curries and are easy to eat by hand. Serve them with rice, flatbread, salad, or in a wrap.
Questions folks ask
Can I make kebabs without a grill?
Yes. Cook them on a broiler pan, in a hot oven on a rack, or in a grill pan on the stove.
How long should I marinate meat for kebabs?
Even 30 minutes helps, and a few hours gives more flavor. Keep it in the fridge while it marinates.
What should I serve with kebabs?
Rice, flatbread, a fresh salad, and a cool yogurt sauce are all good partners.
Kitchen tips
- Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes so they do not burn.
- Cut pieces to the same size for even cooking.
- Marinate for at least a short while, and keep it covered in the fridge.
- Do not pack the skewers too tightly or the middle may stay raw.
- Turn often and cook until the meat is cooked through.
