Spicy Glazed Veggie Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a cast-iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
• Combine the pineapple juice, lemon juice, lime juice, ginger, jalapeno, soy sauce, honey and cilantro in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Skewer the shrimp on 8 metal skewers or on 8 wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes, alternating with pieces of pineapple, onion and bell pepper.
• Brush or drizzle the kebabs with the pineapple glaze. Grill until the shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the glaze. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Make the glaze: Cook the honey in a medium saute pan over medium heat until golden brown and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, pearl onions, scallions and lemon zest and juice. Return the pan to the heat, add 1/4 cup water and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions are tender and the sauce is reduced, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the onions and let them cool. Keep the sauce warm.
• Skewer the vegetables: Start each skewer with a pearl onion followed by alternating 3 pieces pepper with 3 pieces zucchini and finishing with another pearl onion. Arrange the skewers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Cook the vegetables: Preheat the grill for cooking at medium-high heat.
• Brush the skewers with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the skewers in a single layer on the hottest part of the grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them on the other side and move them to a slightly cooler part of the grill if they are getting overdone. Cook until the vegetables are tender, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the skewers in a single layer to a large serving platter and spoon the glaze over them. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
• Warm the teriyaki sauce and sugar together in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Cut the bell peppers into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the white and light green parts of the spring onion into 1-inch pieces (discard the dark greens or reserve for another use).
• Thread the vegetables on six skewers, 2 pieces of pepper for every 1 piece of onions. Grill the vegetables until charred in spots and lightly cooked, about 6 minutes. Baste both sides of the skewers with the glaze a few times, turning often so that it chars in spots, about 1 minute. Transfer the skewers to a platter and drizzle the remaining glaze on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

Steps:

• Soak 4 wooden skewers in water for 30 mins (this stops them burning.) Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Blend the honey, mustard and oil with seasoning.
• To assemble, thread veg onto skewers and brush with glaze. Cook for 25-30 mins in the oven or on the barbecue, brushing with any remaining glaze before serving.

Steps:

• Season lamb with salt and pepper. Add cumin and turmeric and toss to coat. (This can be done up to 24 hours ahead, if you like.)
• If you're using a charcoal grill, build the fire so it's screaming hot. This lamb is to be cooked hot and fast so it can stay nicely medium-rare, so the hotter the better. If you're using a gas grill, set it on high. Bring a clean platter, cutting board or baking dish out to the grill for the skewers to rest in after cooking.
• Combine onion, sumac (if using) and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Combine yogurt and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Skewer the lamb onto wooden or metal skewers, 2 to 4 pieces per skewer.
• Once the grill is hot, cook the skewers on all sides until deeply browned and lightly charred all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side (less time for smaller pieces), moving the skewers around as needed to prevent excessive flare-ups. (If you've trimmed most of the fat away from the lamb, the flare-ups shouldn't be too bad.)
• Transfer the skewers to the platter, cutting board or baking dish to rest for a few minutes and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the dressed onions, lemony yogurt, cilantro, olives, lavash and any pickled vegetables or peppers you like.
