Spicy And Sweet Kebabs Food

SLAYER'S SWEET, TANGY, AND SPICY KABOBS

Steps:

• Make the marinade by whisking the brown sugar, honey, lime juice, lemon juice, maraschino cherry juice, garlic powder, ginger, black pepper, cayenne pepper, pineapple juice, wine, hot pepper sauce, and soy sauce together in a large, non-metallic bowl. Toss the mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, and chicken in the marinade; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• On each skewer, thread a piece of chicken, then three of the veggies followed by another piece of chicken then a pineapple slice and one maraschino cherry at the end. Mix and match the vegetables as you assemble the skewers. Cook on the preheated grill until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

SWEET-AND-SOUR SHRIMP KEBABS

Steps:

• Whisk together the canola oil, lime juice, brown sugar, vinegar, red pepper flakes, lime zest, garlic, ginger, basil and salt in a bowl. Put the shrimp in a large zip-top plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Whisk the sweet chili sauce, peach preserves and mustard in a bowl.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Oil the grill rack. Thread the shrimp and lime wedges onto skewers. Grill 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Serve with the sauce.

SPICY BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch cubes and place into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor combine the garlic, paprika, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. With the processor running drizzle in the olive oil.
• Pour the marinade over the meat and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag and allow to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto the skewers leaving about 1/2-inch in between the pieces of meat. Place on the grill and cook, with lid lowered, 2 to 3 minutes per side, 8 to 12 minutes in all (8 minutes for rare and 12 for medium). Remove from the heat to aluminum foil, wrap and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes prior to serving.

SWEET AND SPICY BACON KEBABS WITH SCALLION-GINGER RELISH

Steps:

• Make the relish:
• Toss scallions, chile, lime juice, oil, ginger, and brown sugar in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt.
• Make the bacon kebabs:
• Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Oil grates. Combine honey, sambal oelek, vinegar, and Sriracha in a small bowl; set glaze aside.
• Thread bacon onto 6-8 skewers, folding back and forth in accordion style, and grill over indirect heat, turning every minute or so, until browned and crisp, 10-12 minutes. Baste with reserved glaze, turning every 30 seconds or so, until lacquered and slightly sticky, about 3 minutes (move to an even cooler spot if needed to keep glaze from scorching). Serve bacon with relish and lime wedges.
• Do Ahead
• Glaze can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.

SWEET AND SPICY SHRIMP KABOBS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the honey, chile pepper, garlic and salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade.
• Thread the shrimp through the tail and head (2 or 3 per skewer) onto small metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers. Strong rosemary stems are good to use as skewers.
• Grill over Direct High heat for 2 to 4 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Arrange skewers on a serving dish and sprinkle with the cilantro.

SPICY AND SWEET KEBABS

Steps:

• 1. Soak skewers overnight.
• 2. Cube chicken and beef- put into separate bowls. Mix marinade ingredients and pour evenly over chicken and beef. Refrigerate for 2 hours maximum.
• 3. Cut up vegetables and place in refrigerator until ready to assemble.
• 4. After marinating time is over take meat and vegetables out of fridge and start to assemble the skewers in the fashion that you like.
• 5. Preheat oven to 500°F Bake for 5-7 minutes turn and cook again for 5-7 minutes. (Because meat is cut into such small pieces it will cook fast and completely through).
• 6. To assemble marinade mix all ingredients together. You can serve this cold or warm.

SPICY CHICKEN KEBABS

Steps:

• Grind the garlic, ginger, orange zest and spring onions to a paste in a food processor. Add the honey, orange juice, soy sauce and oil, then blend again. Pour the mixture over the cubed chicken and leave to marinate for at least 1 hr, but preferably overnight. Toss in the mushrooms for the last half an hour so they take on some of the flavour, too.
• Thread the chicken, tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers onto 20 wooden skewers, then cook on a griddle pan for 7-8 mins each side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Turn the kebabs frequently and baste with the marinade from time to time until evenly cooked. Arrange on a platter, scatter with chopped spring onion and eat with your fingers.
