Summer Skewer Sass!!

i. love. summer. 

 Like....a lot!

I don't really like a lot of sun, but knowing that I can hang out in my backyard, watch the kids happily play in the sandbox while my husband fires up the grill and makes magic out of simple ingredients, makes the long summer days savoury!

If you're not well acquainted with your BBQ, introduce yourself, 

offer him a match 

and make sweet BBQ love 

(okay this is getting awkward but you know what I mean ladies :)

This recipe is fast, easy and oh so yummy! 

I don't like bland food. I don't think most people do, but sometimes people settle for that. 

You don't have to!

This veggie and meat skewer is VERY healthy (#1 requirement!) 

so you can feel good about that. 

BUT I have loaded it with SO much flavour, you'll think you're really indulging! 

Try it this summer, before summer slips on by :) 

And let me know if you tried it and like it!!

Savoury BBQ Skewers  (dressing is for 6 skewers)


Cherry Tomatoes
Red Pepper
Broccoli
Onion
Pineapple Slices
Asparagus
Steak, Italian Sausage or chicken breast
Wooden Skewers, (soaked in water beforehand)

Dressing:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp crushed garlic
4 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp mustard
2 tsp turmeric
3 Tbsp BBQ sauce (I recommend chicken and rib)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

1. Soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes
2. Chop your veggies and meat
3. Make a pattern and skewer them (meat, onion, tomato, meat, onion..etc)
4. Put them in a 9 x13 dish 
5. Make the dressing by mixing all ingredients in a bowl with a whisk
6. Using a pastry brush, rub the dressing all over the skewers, continuing to twist them to get the dressing all over. 
7. Let sit in marinade for 2 hours and keep flipping and basting, OR if you're in a rush,  you don't need to let them marinate. They'll still taste great!
8. Put them on the BBQ on med - low heat until the meat is cooked 
9. Eat as is, or over a bed of rice!
