Grill Academy - Top Tip
Avoid the barbecue humdrum with summer skewers!
Skewers are a great way to cater for a party or gathering. They’re versatile, cost effective, can be prepared in advance, they look great, are easy to serve (no carving!) and, most importantly, taste delicious.
While we tend to think of traditional ‘meat’ skewers, don’t forget about delicious seafood and vegetarian options. Grilled prawns or salmon cubes on a skewer are a fantastic light option for summer, while skewers with haloumi pieces and capsicum, zucchini, eggplant, onion and cherry tomatoes will have your vegetarian guests sorted!
Don’t forget dessert! Summer fruits lend themselves beautifully to grilling and are quick and easy to thread onto skewers – think strawberries, pineapple, peaches and watermelon. You can also add marshmallows or cubes of vanilla cake – they only need a minute as their sugar content means they caramelise quickly!
Weber’s Elevation Tiered Grilling System is the ULTIMATE accessory when cooking skewers for a crowd. It increases capacity and efficiency by elevating food, creating up to four additional levels. And remember, if you’re using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent them burning.
