Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 Persian cucumber, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound beef sirloin tip, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
12 mixed-color baby bell peppers (about 8 ounce)
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the yogurt sauce: Stir together the yogurt, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Add salt to taste. Refrigerate while the meat marinates. (The sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
  • For the kabobs: Mix the yogurt, cilantro, coriander, cumin, turmeric, allspice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the beef and chicken (you can separate them into 2 bowls if you prefer) and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
  • Toss the peppers and onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
  • Thread the chicken and beef onto separate skewers (about 5 pieces of meat per skewer), threading a piece of onion between each piece of meat--for even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skewers. Use 2 skewers to thread the peppers, to make them easier to turn. (Make 4 double skewers with 3 peppers each.)
  • Grill the kabobs, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on the outside and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes for the beef (medium-rare), 10 to 12 minutes for the chicken, and about 12 minutes for the vegetables.
  • Serve the kabobs with lemon wedges and the yogurt sauce on the side.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons coconut milk
6 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon minced shallot (about 1 shallot)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, minced garlic, curry powder, fish sauce, chili flakes, minced shallot, and kosher salt. Stir until everything is combined and add the chicken. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
  • When you're ready to cook, thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers.
  • Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
  • Place skewers on the middle of the grill (between the hot and cool sections), cover, and cook until skewers are well browned on the first side, about 5 minutes. If skewers are browning too fast, shift them to the cooler side; if not browning fast enough, move them closer to the hotter side. Flip the skewers and cook until the second side is browned and the thickest piece of chicken registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving platter, let rest for 2 minutes, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for kabobs. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs helps tenderize the chicken and infuses it with flavor. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add color, texture, and nutrition to the kabobs. Choose a variety of vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Skewer the kabobs properly: To prevent the food from spinning on the skewers, alternate the direction of the food as you skewer it. Also, leave a little space between the pieces of food so that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat: Cooking the kabobs over medium heat helps prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the kabobs with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce adds an extra layer of flavor to the kabobs. Serve the kabobs with a yogurt-based sauce, a tahini sauce, or a spicy tomato sauce.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer barbecue or a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are roasted to perfection. Serve the kabobs with a flavorful sauce to complete the dish.
