Kabobs make dinner quick

When you don't want to spend a lot of time on dinner, kabobs are the answer. Load up your skewers with a combination of meat and vegetables, throw them on the grill and you are good to go.

Za'atar and lemon

Za'atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend that varies by region, by brand and by household, but usually includes: thyme, marjoram, oregano, ground sesame seeds and sumac. Check out my post to learn more about za'atar. Za'atar adds great flavor to these quick and easy kabobs. I marinate them in lemon juice, garlic, za'atar and a little extra sumac -- much the same ingredients that I use for Za'atar and lemon grilled chicken.

Make ahead

If you have the time, the kabobs benefit greatly from a day or two of marinating time, but even an hour will impart flavor and tenderness.

My favorite skewers

Skewers | Something New For Dinner

 I love these skewers. They are extra long, sharp, they last for ever and you can flip them over on the grill without the ingredients spinning. I highly recommend them. Just be careful they do get hot so you need to use a hot pad or a glove when you are grilling with them.
