Grilling brochettes on the BBQ




What can be better than beautiful brochettes grilling on the barbecue?






A little style and imagination
  • Select your favourite vegetables

    Mushrooms
    Onions
    Eggplant
    Zucchini
    Peppers (any colours)
    Cherry tomatoes

  • Don't forget your favorite fruits

    Apple
    Mango
    Pineapple 
    Dried dates
    Dried prunes
    Dried apricots 

    Mango and Pineapple mix perfectly well with cubes of pork!


Marinade
You can marinate the ingredients individually or already skewered. If you do chose to do this, they should be allowed to marinate for at least one hour to give them time to absorb the flavours. And to keep your brochettes soft and juicy while grilling, baste them often with marinade. 

The cuts

As far as the cuts of meat to use, choose more tender and juicy meats or poultry because brochettes take very little time to cook, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of the cubes.

Suggestions :

  • Beef brochettes, try cubes from the inside round. 
  • Lamb, select pieces from the leg. 
  • Pork, buy pieces from the leg or loin.
  • Satays, use tenderloin strips. 
  • Veal, use loin cubes.
  • Chicken and turkey, the breast is ideal for cubes or strips.
