LEMON AND THYME SAUSAGE KEBABS
One of several budget-savvy, "sizzling sausages" recipes in the current issue of the Australian magazine 'New Idea'. This one food editor Barbara Northwood has costed at $A2.26 per serve. Vary the vegetables to meet your taste preferences and add some heat if that's what you like! If making this, I'd be inclined to increase the number of mushrooms and use onion slices in place of the corn which I've never been particularly fond of.

GRILLED CHICKEN KEBABS WITH LEMON, THYME, AND ROSEMARY
Vegetables take longer than the chicken to cook, so thread them on separate skewers, serving one of each per person.Use flat or square skewers so the food doesn't twirl around on them. If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak in water at least one hour before using. Handle hot metal skewers with tongs or protected hands. From "Diabetes Cooking for Everyone", by Carol Gelles.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful lemons and thyme to ensure the best possible taste.
- Marinate the sausages: Marinating the sausages in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and thyme helps infuse them with flavor and keep them moist during grilling.
- Use wooden skewers: Wooden skewers are more likely to burn than metal skewers, but they also add a nice smoky flavor to the kebabs.
- Preheat the grill: A hot grill will help sear the sausages and prevent them from sticking.
- Cook the kebabs over medium heat: This will help prevent the sausages from burning and ensure that they cook through.
- Turn the kebabs frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Serve with a dipping sauce: A simple lemon-herb sauce or tzatziki sauce pairs well with these kebabs.
Conclusion:
Lemon and thyme sausage kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. The combination of bright citrus and fresh herbs gives these kebabs a light and refreshing flavor that is perfect for a backyard barbecue or picnic. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
