Grilled Tomato Kebabs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal grill with coals. Spread them out in one dense layer and brush the grill with oil. Place the cherry tomatoes on skewers, threading them through the stem of the tomato. Brush the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the tomato skewers on the grill, turning once, until seared on the outside but still firm inside, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high; clean and lightly oil hot grates. In a large bowl, combine lamb, lemon zest, coriander, and cinnamon; season with salt and pepper.
• Onto four skewers, thread lamb, tomatoes, and mint, beginning and ending with lamb. Grill kebabs, covered, until lamb is medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Combine oil and basil leaves in a food processor; pulse to combine. Place halloumi cheese in a flat bowl. Pour basil-infused oil over the cheese. Toss to coat and let marinate 1 hour.
• Heat vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Turn heat off and set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Add cherry tomatoes to the cheese and toss until coated. Thread cheese and tomatoes on skewers.
• Place on the preheated grill. Grill for 3 minutes, flip and grill for 3 more minutes.
• Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Drizzle with vinegar reduction and serve immediately. Garnish with additional basil if desired.

Steps:

• Marinate steak:
• Whisk together shallot, vinegar, mustard, sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 3/4 tsp pepper. Add 1/2 cup oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
• Toss steak with 1/2 tsp salt, then marinate in a sealed bag with 6 Tbsp vinaigrette, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 2 hours. Chill remaining vinaigrette.
• Make kebabs:
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).
• Meanwhile, toss tomatoes and okra with remaining 3 Tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp salt. Thread tomatoes onto 3 or 4 skewers. Thread okra crosswise onto pairs of parallel skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces. Put on a tray.
• Thread steak onto remaining skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces (discard marinade). Put on another tray.
• Oil grill rack, then grill steak skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, about 5 minutes total for medium-rare (about 8 minutes if using steak tips). Transfer to a platter. Drizzle with some of remaining vinaigrette while hot and let stand 5 minutes.
• Grill tomato and okra skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until tomatoes just begin to wilt and okra is tender, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to platter with steak and serve with any remaining reserved vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Cut mozzarella in half, then into eight 3/4" slices.
• Place ingredients on the skewers in the following order: bread, tomato, basil, mozzarella, tomato, basil, mozzarella and bread. Set aside while you make the sauce.
• Mix all the sauce ingredients (everything following the skewers) together in a saucepan and warm for 1-2 minutes before serving. You don't want the tomatoes to break down, but rather just to be warmed.
• Brush the skewered mozzarella and tomato with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill over high heat on both sides until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese begins to melt, about 30-45 seconds per side.
• Spoon the sauce onto 4 warm dinner plates. Set the skewers neatly on top of the sauce, slide out the skewers and serve.

Steps:

• Mix together marinade ingredients; reserve 2 tbsp of marinade for brushing on while grilling and set aside.
• Cut meat into bite size cubes.
• Place meat in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least two hours, stirring occasionally.
• Cut pineapple into bite size chunks.
• Place meat and pineapple chunks/pepper/onion/tomato alternately on water-soaked skewers.
• Grill or broil shish kabobs until done, about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with reserved marinade.
• Good with beef and pork, too!

Steps:

• Heat grill to high (see page 367 for instructions); lightly oil grates. Cut swordfish and salmon into 24 pieces each (about 1 1/2 inches); dividing evenly, thread fish against the grain on 8 skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes. Brush bread slices on both sides with olive oil, and grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
• In a blender, puree basil, garlic, and the olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Reserve half.
• Brush kebabs with basil oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout and tomatoes are softened, 6 to 10 minutes. With a clean brush, coat kebabs with reserved basil oil. Serve immediately.
