KIELBASA APPLE KABOBS



Kielbasa Apple Kabobs image

This is a super simple recipe I copied from the Whole Foods Market website. The grilled kielbasa have such a wonderful flavor. You can even use turkey kielbasa to save on calories and fat. I use more apple just because my kids like the way they taste off the grill. It's okay to let the ingredients sit in the lemon juice mixture for a few minutes. I was concerned about that at first, but it does not overpower or alter the flavor of the dish. I also don't use the skewers. I use a grilling basket - it's much faster!! I serve with couscous.

Found this in a weekender magazine (the type that come in the Sunday paper) and love it! Tweaked it a bit. It's extremely easy to make, and if doubled or tripled, it would be great for an inexpensive addition to a summer party. Plus, it helps to use up summer veggies! I like to serve this with rice and steamed broccoli.

BARBECUED KIELBASA AND APPLE KEBABS



Barbecued Kielbasa and Apple Kebabs image

Polska Kielbasa is good when grilled and glazed. The fruity sauce is a natural for the threesome: onion, sausage and apples. The recipe makes just enough sauce for the glaze; nothing leftover for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality kielbasa: Look for kielbasa that is made with fresh, high-quality pork and spices. Avoid kielbasa that contains fillers or preservatives.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different varieties of apples will give your kebabs different flavors and textures. Try using a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Gala.
  • Don't overcrowd the skewers: When assembling your kebabs, make sure to leave some space between the kielbasa and apples so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cooking the kebabs over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. Be patient and cook the kebabs until the kielbasa is cooked through and the apples are tender.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Barbecue sauce, ketchup, or mustard are all great options for dipping sauce. You could also make a simple honey mustard sauce by mixing equal parts honey and mustard.
