CHICKEN OR SWORDFISH KEBABS



Chicken or Swordfish Kebabs image

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, preferably from hormone- and antibiotic-free chickens, or swordfish steaks, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 to 2 plump garlic cloves (to taste), cut in half, green shoots removedSalt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup plain lowfat yogurt
1 teaspoon curry powder
Seeds from 3 cardamom pods, crushed (optional)
1 tablespoon canola oil
12 cherry tomatoes
1 large red or green pepper, cut in 1-inch squares
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), cut in half, green shoots removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds, ground (optional)
1 cup drained yogurt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint or dill

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.

Categories     Fish     Mushroom     Onion     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Backyard BBQ     Bell Pepper     White Wine     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound swordfish, cut into 1-inch cubes
12 bamboo skewers
6 small boiling onions, peeled
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
12 mushrooms

Steps:

  • Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Add fish and refrigerate at least 1 and up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat barbecue (medium heat) or preheat broiler. Drain fish, reserving marinade. Thread fish on skewers alternately with onions, green and bell peppers and mushrooms. Arrange skewers on grill. Grill until swordfish is just cooked through, brushing skewers frequently with marinade, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right swordfish: Look for firm, opaque flesh that is light pink in color. Avoid any fish that has a slimy or off odor.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The yogurt marinade in this recipe helps to tenderize the swordfish and infuses it with flavor. You can also use other marinades, such as a citrus-based marinade or a herb-infused marinade.
  • Cook the swordfish over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Serve the swordfish with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for swordfish include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Yogurt-marinated swordfish kebabs are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. The marinade helps to tenderize the swordfish and infuses it with flavor, while the grilling process creates a nice sear on the outside and keeps the inside moist and flaky. Serve the kebabs with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
