Hey! Guess what? Spring is almost here! Time to start firing up the grill after being stuck in the house all winter...yeah!!!! Spring is my favorite time of year and autumn my second. I love seeing the tulips bloom, kids playing outside, bonfires in the backyard, and grilling! Although, in all honesty, my son has been doing most of the grilling around here and deserves credit for that!
This morning I decided it was time to get my “spring” on as I sat on the back deck having my morning tea. This is what we had with our dinner tonight, with just a few minutes of prepping the veggies this morning.
How To Cook:
This dish is made by the method of roasting, using a grill or oven broiler.
Make a disposable tray for the kabobs for grilling with aluminum foil. This will ensure they do not fall through the grate and also makes for a steadier cooking surface.
Give the vegetables enough distance from the heat source when broiling on high. Otherwise, broil on a lower heat setting. For ovens with the broiler in the top area of the stove, place the oven rack towards the center of the oven.
