Method
Preparation of Protein
- 1
Marinate the Protein
Choose your protein (chicken, beef, lamb, or kofta) and cut it into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the protein pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preparing Vegetables

Prep the Vegetables
While the protein is marinating, cut bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes into appropriate sizes for skewering. Keep the vegetables in a separate bowl.

Assemble the Skewers
Once the protein is marinated, take the wooden skewers and start assembling. Alternate between pieces of protein and vegetables (bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes) to create your skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Cooking
- 4
Grill the Skewers
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the protein is cooked through and has nice grill marks. If using kofta, ensure it is fully cooked.
