Description
Veal and Vegetable Kebabs are skewers of marinated veal cubes and colorful vegetables like peppers, onions, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes, grilled or broiled to perfection. They’re tender, smoky, and naturally healthy—perfect for a weeknight dinner or summer BBQ.
Ingredients
- 2–3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 shallots, minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt (optional)
- Ground pepper to taste (optional)
- 500g veal cubes (2.5 cm, from round cut)
- 1 yellow or red sweet pepper, cut into 2 cm squares
- 1 onion, cut into small segments
- 12–16 button mushrooms, whole or halved
- 12 mini-tomatoes (cherry, grape, or miniature)
Instructions
- Mix garlic, shallots, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Add veal cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Prep vegetables: cut peppers and onions, halve large mushrooms.
- Thread veal and vegetables alternately onto skewers. Use separate skewers for tomatoes.
- Preheat a grill or broiler. Oil the grates lightly.
- Grill skewers, turning and basting occasionally with oil. Cook tomatoes for about 5 minutes, and veal kebabs for around 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, with tomatoes on top or on the side for added flavor.
Notes
- Swap veal with chicken or lamb for variation.
- Add cumin, smoked paprika, or chili flakes to the marinade for extra depth.
- Include zucchini, eggplant, or pineapple chunks for added variety.
- Use marinated tofu and more veggies for a vegan version.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or skillet, not microwave.
