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.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pkg any kind kielbasa sausage(cut in bite size chunks), chicken chunks, beef chunks, etc
2 can(s) dole pineapple chunks (it matters), reserve 1/2 cup juice

30 short or long wooden skewers

Steps:

  • 1. Make these the day before you plan on cooking them.
  • 2. It is recommended to soak skewers a few hours before assembling kabobs, so they don't catch fire on grill. I never do because I have them full & this never happens.
  • 3. Layer meat, then pineapple, then mushroom, then bell pepper, then onion, in that order on skewer. Repeat until skewer is full, pushing them tightly together as you go. Begin & end with your meat of choice.
  • 4. Place in a large plastic container that has a tight fitting lid.
  • 5. Pour the soy sauce, mixed with 1/2 cup of the pineapple juice & brown sugar over them. Put lid on & gently invert them. Do this for a minute or so, until well coated.
  • 6. Place in fridge overnight, inverting every so often.
  • 7. When ready to cook, preheat grill to around 350°. Spray with cooking spray.
  • 8. Lay the kabobs on grill & brush with the marinade. Sprinkle on the seasons.
  • 9. Close the lid on grill.
  • 10. Turn the kabobs after about 10 minutes. Brush again & season again. Finish cooking with lid closed, another 5-10 minutes.
