Frequently asked questions

For tender and juicy kebabs, choose the right cut of meat – look for cuts with a good amount of marbling. You can also tenderize the meat by piercing it with a fork or using a meat tenderizer. Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, and up to overnight, in a mixture of oil, acid (like lemon juice), and spices. When grilling, use medium-high heat and cook the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.

To avoid greasy kebabs, trim any visible fat from the meat before grilling. Also, use a paper towel to gently blot the surface of the meat after marinating and before placing it on the grill. Make sure your grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking, which can cause tearing and grease buildup.

You can experiment with different types of meat, such as chicken, beef, lamb, or even fish. For a vegetarian option, try using tofu or halloumi cheese. Add a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini. Play around with different marinade flavors – try a spicy harissa marinade or a sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce. You can also experiment with different types of skewers, such as bamboo or metal, each giving a unique char and flavor to the kebabs.

For even cooking, cut the meat and vegetables into uniform-sized pieces. This ensures that everything cooks at the same rate. You can also thread the ingredients onto the skewers in an alternating pattern, ensuring that heat is distributed evenly. Make sure your grill is preheated to the right temperature and that you flip the kebabs occasionally to prevent burning and promote even cooking.

Yes, kebabs can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to grill. Thread the ingredients onto skewers and place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They will stay fresh for up to 24 hours. You can also freeze prepared kebabs for up to 3 months. Thaw them completely before grilling.
