Shish Kabob is such an easy but delicious meal and goes with a wide variety of things from traditional Middle Eastern side dishes like hummus and Israeli cous cous to white or yellow (Goya) rice and a host of different vegetables. You can grill the Shish kabob on a BBQ or if you don’t have access to one, you can use a George Forman Grill or simply roast them in the oven on a roasting pan or foil covered cookie sheet at 425 F.
You’ll need some skewers to put the meat and vegetables on. You can buy disposable, bamboo skewers at the grocery store (need to soak these in water so they don’t burn up) or you can buy some inexpensive but reusable metal skewers.
