Shish-ka-bob Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a large bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate Meats

    Cut the chicken, beef, pork, and lamb into 1-inch cubes. Add each type of meat to the marinade and let it sit for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor).

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Chop the onion and tomatoes into chunks. Thread the marinated meats and veggies onto skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables.

  4. 4

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or charbroiler to medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Grill Shish-ka-bobs

    Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the shish-ka-bobs from the grill and serve with warm pita bread, hummus, skorthalia, spicy feta, and any additional vegetables.
