The cheese can be marinated for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight, allowing you to customize the intensity of the flavors. Once marinated, the havarti cheese is skewered with other ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, or meats, creating a colorful and visually appealing dish.

THE BEST MARINADE FOR KABOBS! (BEEF, PORK AND LAMB)



The Best Marinade for Kabobs! (Beef, Pork and Lamb) image

I have a few favorite marinades that I have used for years this is one of them, this marinade will tenderize and add flavor to any cut of meat to absolute perfection and makes fantastic kabobs! This can also be used for chicken but because of the vinegar amount marinading time will need to be reduced to a maximum of 6 hours or the acid vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken, use only honey no other substitutions!.. you will love this marinade!
