Banderillas Tuna Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes so they don't burn.
• Place the tuna in a shallow non-metallic dish. In a small bowl, combine the oil, cumin and lemon rind and pour over the tuna. Toss to coat, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the chermoula, place the coriander, cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small frying pan and toast over medium heat for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. DO NOT BURN! Combine with the remaining chermoula ingredients and set aside.
• Thread the tuna onto the skewers. Lightly oil your indoor grill or your barbeque and cook the skewers for 1 minute on each side for rare, or 2 minutes for medium.
• Serve the skewers on a bed of couscous and drizzle with the chermoula.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together first 8 ingredients (vingear - chile) and then season with the pepper. Transfer 3 tablespoons to a cup and reserve.
• Add tuna to remaining marinade, tossing to coat and refrigerate for up to 45 minutes.
• Prepare grill and spray grill reack with Pam.
• Prepare skewers by alternating fish, pepper and onion squares on skewers.
• Grill skewers to desired doneness - mine took about 10 mintes-- turning often.
• Transfer to platter, drizzling reserved marinade over skewers and sprinkle with additional cilantro, if desired.

Steps:

• Put the skewers into water to soak.
• This helps prevent them burning.
• Combine the char sui sauce, water and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
• This is the glazing sauce.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
• The best way is to use your hands.
• Roll mixture into 18 meatballs.
• About a rounded tablespoon mixture each.
• Thread 3 meatballs onto each skewer.
• If you like you can add slices of red or green pepper between meatballs.
• Plce them on a baking sheet.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove skewers and brush meatballs with the glaze all over.
• Turn on the broiler.
• Place skewers under the broiler and cook for about 2 minutes each side.
• Serve.
• These could also be prepared ahead up to the broiler part and then barbequed.

Steps:

• In a bowl mix all ingredients apart from the fish.
• Add the fish to the marinade and make sure it is coated all over.
• Leave to marinate for at least two hours, stirring from time to time.
• Divide the fish onto four skewers. (Tip: If you use bamboo ones soak them in water beforehand to stop them from burning).
• Place under a hot grill or onto the BBQ and leave for about 8 minutes or until cooked through.
• Turn only once.

Steps:

• Heat grill. Sprinkle cornmeal on sheet of waxed paper. Unroll dough on cornmeal; press crosswise perforations to seal. Spread dough with mustard.
• Separate dough into 8 long dough strips. To make each corn dog, coil 1 dough strip around each hot dog. Insert metal skewer lengthwise through hot dog, securing dough on each end.
• When ready to grill, place corn dogs on gas grill over medium-low heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium-low coals. Cook 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy, turning corn dogs several times.

Steps:

• Soak 8 wooden skewers in cold water for one hour.
• Cut the raw tuna into 24 even-sized cubes. Remove the zest from the lemon and cut it into thin strips. Make sure you do not cut into the white pith.
• Mix the tuna cubes, lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil. Allow to marinate while skewers are soaking.
• When ready to cook, thread each skewer with three pieces of tuna, two caper berries and one olive, alternating each ingredient. Put into a non-metallic dish and pour marinade over the skewers.
• Broil for 4 minutes on each side, cooking until done to your liking.
