These are great either right off the grill or at room temperature - which makes them the perfect dish to pack up and take to the park on a hot summer night. The preserved lemon is a surprisingly good compliment to the beef tenderloin. Try them with a side of Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce.

Ingredients

2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed and cubed into 16 pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced large
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced large
4 preserved lemons, halved (see Cook's Note)
8 white mushrooms, wiped clean and stems trimmed
1 red onion, diced large
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 cup olive oil
Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cucumber, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 lemon, zested
Pinch dried mint
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Once your meat and veggies have been prepped let the skewering fun begin! Thread a piece of green pepper onto the skewer. Follow it with a cube of beef, then one half of a preserved lemon, a couple of pieces of red onion, another piece of beef, a piece of red pepper and cap it with a mushroom. Repeat the process with the rest of the skewers. Set all of the kabobs into a roasting pan in one layer and set aside.
Place the remaining ingredients in a medium sized bowl and whisk until well incorporated. Pour the mixture over the kabobs and refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat an outdoor charcoal or gas grill to high heat. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook 3 minutes per side. Remove and serve immediately or let cool, pack 'em up and take them on a picnic.
Serve with Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse several times to make a chunky sauce.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons granulated sugar or 4 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla, clear if possible
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (optional)

Steps:

Mix the cornstarch, sugar, and salt with 1/4 cup of cold milk.
In a small pot, heat the remaining milk over low heat (Do not boil!).

Let cool, then add the vanilla.
Cover and chill.

Tips:

Skewers: Use sturdy skewers that are long enough to accommodate all of the ingredients. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
Ingredients: Cut all of the ingredients into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Choose a variety of colorful and flavorful ingredients to make your kabobs visually appealing and delicious.
Marinating: Marinating the ingredients before cooking helps to add flavor and moisture. Use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
Grilling: Grill the kabobs over medium heat, turning them frequently, until the ingredients are cooked through. Brush the kabobs with additional marinade or olive oil while grilling to keep them moist.
Serving: Serve the kabobs hot off the grill with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include tzatziki sauce, hummus, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Picnic kabobs are a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious meal outdoors. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a variety of kabobs that everyone will love. So next time you're planning a picnic, be sure to include some kabobs on the menu.
