What makes food on a stick truly great? Too often, we think of skewers and brochettes as just easy summer barbecue food: a few tired chunks of meat and vegetables threaded onto a stick and grilled—boring, bland, and uninspired. But that couldn’t be further from the truth! Discover a world of new, exciting flavors and original presentations for everything from main dishes to appetizer brochettes. Sweet or savory, served with a luscious sauce or a zippy marinade, grilled or raw, skewers can be—and should be—prepared year-round. They’re easy to make, and there’s just something about food on a stick that kids absolutely love! Skewers are perfectly portable, ideal for picnics and lunches, and stand out as elegant hors d’oeuvres for any special occasion, or for dining al fresco.
