Yield Makes 10 kabobs

Number Of Ingredients 1

3 pounds cipollini onions, peeled and trimmed

Steps:

  • Soak ten 10-inch wooden skewers in water. Set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add onions, and return to the boil. Cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove onions to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Remove skewers from the water. Skewer onions horizontally (not through the root end), fitting about 8 onions on each skewer.
  • Place on the heated grill, and cook over low heat until brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut vegetables or buy frozen vegetables.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the kabobs over charcoal.
  • If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers or even toothpicks.
  • To keep the kabobs from sticking to the grill, brush them with oil before cooking.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce or ranch dressing.
