Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the kabobs and salad will be. Look for bison that is grass-fed and free-range, and fresh vegetables that are in season.
  • Marinate the bison: Marinating the bison in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the bison over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Don't overcook the bison: Bison is a lean meat and it can easily become dry if it is overcooked. Cook the kabobs until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the kabobs with a variety of sides: The Mediterranean couscous salad is a great option, but you can also serve the kabobs with grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

This recipe for sea and shore bison kabobs with Mediterranean couscous salad is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The bison is tender and flavorful, the salad is refreshing and flavorful, and the combination of the two is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
