Kebabs, or as I call them babs (say bob in a Boston accent…), are one of my favorite summer meals. With summer officially over I wanted to have one more kebab dinner before closing up the grill for the season. I decided to try something different with my kebabs this time. I had recently read somewhere that the trick to the perfect kebab meal is to skewer each ingredient on its own. i.e.: onions with onions, peppers with peppers, chicken with chicken (you get the idea). I’m not sure if this made a huge difference but it went a lot faster not worrying about getting the right ratio of ingredients on each skewer.
