Summer is the perfect time for barbecues and tasty meat skewers. If you follow my blog, you know that I don't buy almost any condiments. I prefer to make my own condiments such as BBQ sauces, pesto, ketchup, mayo or Harissa paste which is what I used to make this recipe. Serve these skewers with summer salads or cauli-rice!
No Barbecue? Cooking Alternatives
BBQ roasting: Place the skewers on the barbecue and cook on high for 7-8 minutes or until crispy on the outside and cooked inside.
Pan roasting: Preheat a large regular pan or griddle pan greased with lard or ghee on high heat. Turn the heat down to medium and place the skewers on the pan. When done, set aside and keep them warm near the cooker.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve these skewers with any vegetables sides, especially:
