Rosemary Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire or heat a gas grill; fire should be moderately hot. Thread lamb and figs onto rosemary branches, three or four chunks or figs per skewer. Do not mix meat and figs on same skewer.
• Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix together the lemon juice, garlic and minced rosemary and brush a little of this mixture on lamb and figs.
• Grill, turning skewers as each side browns and taking care to avoid flare-ups; total cooking time should be from 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare meat, and 4 or 5 minutes for the figs. Meat will become slightly more done after you remove it from grill, so take this into account.

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes, then skewer them with bamboo sticks and season the beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on the beef skewers, lay the rosemary on top of the beef and cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Heat a medium sized frying pan over high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then place the beef skewers in the pan. After 1 to 2 minutes, flip the beef skewers, at this point lay rosemary in the pan as well. Cook to desired tenderness. Serve with rosemary over the skewers.

Steps:

• In a food processor blend together the garlic, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Remove to a small serving bowl and stir in the chives.
• For the roasted garlic dipping sauce: Heat a cast-iron grill pan.
• Add the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let the shrimp sit at room temperature 15 minutes.
• For the grilled rosemary shrimp: Skewer the shrimp on the bamboo skewers, about 3 per skewer. Grill the shrimp until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Place the skewers on the platter and garnish with rosemary sprigs. Serve the shrimp with the roasted garlic dipping sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the first eight ingredients. For skewers, strip leaves from bottom portion of rosemary sprigs, leaving 1-2 in. of leaves attached at top; reserve 1 tablespoon of the removed leaves. Finely chop reserved leaves; add to parsley mixture. Add shrimp; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes., Thread shrimp onto rosemary stems; discard remaining marinade. Grill, covered, 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink. If desired, serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, salt, lemon juice, white vinegar, pepper, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes. Place chicken in the bowl, and stir to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill for medium-high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers and discard marinade.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill skewers for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear.

Steps:

• PREPARATION:.
• Strip the rosemary leaves from the stems, except for about one inch at the top.
• Roughly chop a couple tablespoons of the leaves and set aside. Store the remaining leaves in the freezer for another use.
• Poke a toothpick through the sides of the olives (for easier assembly); depending on how strong / thick your rosemary skewers are, you may need to do the same for the artichoke hearts and/or mozzarella balls.
• Cut each mozzarella ball in half.
• Cut each piece of salami in half.
• ASSEMBLY:.
• Thread the rosemary in the following order: olive, half mozzarella ball, half salami folded in half, artichoke heart, half salami folded in half, half mozzarella ball, olive.
• Sprinkle with the chopped rosemary.
• Cover and let sit overnight (or at least several hours).
• Just before serving, drizzle a bit of vinaigrette over top. (If you pour it on too soon, the mozzarella will absorb the color of the vinegar and won't be pretty.).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease a large baking tray with a little oil. To prepare your skewers, remove most of the leaves from each rosemary sprig, keeping a few leaves at the end. Sharpen the other end to a point by cutting it at an angle.
• Stretch the bacon by placing it on a chopping board and running the back of a knife along the length. Cut each piece in half across the middle. Thread 3 sausages onto each skewer, weaving a piece of bacon around them as you do.
• Arrange the skewers on the baking tray and bake for 20 mins. Turn them, brush with maple syrup and return to the oven for 10 mins more until really sticky.
