CHICKEN OR SWORDFISH KEBABS
I can't think of a better destination for chicken tenders than these succulent grilled kebabs. The yogurt marinade works equally well with chicken or with swordfish. The results are unbelievably tender and juicy (as long as you don't overcook them). Serve the kebabs with basmati rice.

Steps:
- Season the chicken or swordfish with salt and pepper. Mash the garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle. Place the yogurt in a 2-quart bowl and stir in the mashed garlic, another 1/4 teaspoon salt, the curry powder, cardamom, and canola oil. Add the chicken or fish, the tomatoes and the peppers, and toss together. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak for 30 minutes or longer.
- To make the sauce, in a mortar and pestle mash the garlic and salt together to a paste. Stir into the drained yogurt, along with the optional cumin seeds and the mint or dill. Set aside.
- Prepare a hot charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill for fifteen minutes. Thread the chicken or fish onto skewers, alternating with the peppers and tomatoes. Do not jam the pieces together tightly, but leave a little space between so that the pieces cook evenly. Place on the hot grill. Grill 5 minutes and turn over. Grill fish skewers for another 5 minutes, or until the fish is springy to the touch. Grill chicken for another 7 to 10 minutes, turning onto another side after 5 minutes, or until cooked through but not dry. Remove from the grill and serve, with the yogurt sauce and with basmati rice.

SWORDFISH/TUNA KABOBS
Steps:
- No need to remove skin of the swordfish. Cube the fish into approx. 1 and 1/2 inch cubes. Put into a ziplock-type bag with the washed whole basil leaves, olive oil and soy sauce. If you like to, add a bit of salt and some freshly ground pepper. Marinate for 15 minutes to half an hour. Place the fish (and basil leaves if you want) onto the skewers. Grill on an outdoor grill or indoors if you like. When they turn brown, turn once. Cook til the second side is brown. This does not take long so watch the fish. Remove and serve with rice and a vegetable, I like asparagus. You can warm the marinade on the stove until it has "cooked through". I generally bring it to almost a boil and than lower the heat to a simmer. Serve it with the fish and rice.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Fish: Opt for firm and moist swordfish and tuna steaks with a vibrant red color. Avoid any fish with a slimy texture or an off odor.
- Marinate the Fish: Marinating the fish in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, spices, and lemon juice not only enhances the taste but also tenderizes the fish.
- Skewer Properly: Use sturdy skewers that are long enough to accommodate both the fish and vegetables. Make sure the fish and vegetables are evenly distributed on the skewers.
- Grill at Moderate Heat: Maintain a moderate grill temperature to prevent the fish from overcooking and drying out. Medium heat around 350-400°F (175-200°C) is ideal.
- Cook in Batches: If you have a lot of kabobs, cook them in batches to ensure they receive equal attention and don't overcrowd the grill.
- Flip Carefully: Use a wide metal or heat-resistant plastic turner to flip the kabobs gently. Avoid piercing the fish with the turner, as this can cause it to break apart.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the kabobs to prevent them from overcooking. The fish should be cooked through but still moist and flaky.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the kabobs hot off the grill with your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
Conclusion:
