Dinner Kiddie Kebab Recipes

LUNCH KIDDIE KEBAB

Steps:

• Assemble 4 double-decker peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, with a slice of bread separating the peanut butter and jelly (each sandwich will use 3 slices of bread). Using a serrated knife, remove the crusts from the sandwiches and discard. Gently slice each sandwich into six 1-inch squares.
• Gently slide 1 cube of sandwich onto an 8-inch wooden skewer. Place 1 slice of banana and 1 blackberry above the sandwich. Repeat this process three more times, until 4 cubes of sandwich, 4 banana slices, and 4 blackberries are used, being sure to cover the pointed end of the skewer with a blackberry.
• Assemble 5 more skewers and place on a serving platter.

BEEF AND BACON THREADED KEBAB

Steps:

• Mix the adobo sauce, agave and lime juice together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Lay out the bacon on a paper-towel-lined plate. Microwave until partially cooked, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Press 1 strip of bacon onto 1 strip of steak and gently flatten them together. Thread a skewer through the bacon and steak, creating a ribbon-like shape on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining bacon and beef. Refrigerate the skewers for 15 to 30 minutes before cooking to help them stay together.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Place the skewers on the grill bacon-side down. Brush the adobo glaze onto the beef while the bacon cooks. Cook until the bacon is crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the skewers and glaze the bacon side. Cook until the beef has a nice char, another 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

DESSERT KIDDIE KEBABS

Steps:

• Assemble six skewers as follows: 1 strawberry, 1 marshmallow, 1 brownie bite and 1 strawberry (to cover the pointed end of the skewer). Place skewers on a serving platter and drizzle generously with chocolate syrup.

HOMEMADE ROTISSERIE DONER KEBAB MEAT - BEEF OR LAMB!

Steps:

• Mix beef or lamb with all the Spices - mix well using your hands.
• Cover and refrigerate 2 hours minimum, or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 170°C/ 325°F (150°C fan).
• Line baking pan with foil.
• Check to ensure skewers are long enough to prop on the sides of the pan. (Note 5)
• Place onion, bacon and garlic in a 8 cup/2L+ food processor. Blitz until it becomes a paste (video at 29 sec),~30 sec on high, scraping down sides as you go.
• Add meat and blitz on low until it becomes a paste (video at 42 sec), scraping down sides (~1 min for powerful food processors, 2 min for less powerful). (Note 4)
• Turn meat out onto work surface. Wet hands with water, then shape into an even block 20cm/8" long.
• Place 2 x 60cm / 2 feet long pieces of foil overlapping each other by 1/3. (Note 6)
• Place meat on the end of the foil, then roll it up, tightly wrapping it in the foil.
• Twist the ends firmly to form a log 25cm/10" long, then snip off excess foil. Roll into even log.
• Thread skewers through the log.
• Place log elevated in pan by propping skewers on the edge of the pan. (Note 7)
• Cook for 1 1/2 hours, turning once after 1 hour, until the log reaches 70°C/160°F (up to 80°C/175°F is fine). The log is cooked at this point. (Note 9)
• Remove foil from log but leave skewers in place.
• Increase oven heat to 250°C/480°F, or as high as your oven can go if it can't reach this.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating once, until browned all over.
• Remove skewers then stand the meat upright.
• Shave meat thinly - carve as much as you intend to use.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook shaved meat lightly coloured but still "floppy" (not crisped). Use immediately for Doner Kebabs!
• Smear hummus on warmed flatbread. Top with lettuce, tomato, and onion.
• Pile on Doner Kebab Meat. Drizzle with sauce(s) of choice.
• Roll up tightly, wrap in foil if desired (to hold together). Grab and devour!

BREAKFAST KIDDIE KEBAB

Steps:

• Prepare the French toast bites according to package instructions.
• Alternating among the three ingredients, fill six 8-inch skewers with 4 French toast bites, 2 sausage halves and 2 melon balls. Place the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with maple syrup.

CARNE ASADA KEBAB

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir together HERDEZ® Salsa Casera, lime juice, oregano and olive oil. Place meat, bell peppers and half of marinade in large re-sealable bag. Store remaining marinade in refrigerator. Seal bag with skewers and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove skewers from marinade and discard marinade. Thread meat and vegetables onto skewers, leaving small space between each item. Lightly oil grill grate. Grill skewers 10 minutes, turning as needed, or until meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Warm reserved marinade and serve alongside warm kebabs.

DONER KEBAB

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor with a large pinch of salt and lots of ground pepper. Pulse until everything is combined and chopped together. You can also just squish everything together in a bowl but this will give you a looser finish.
• Oil a large sheet of foil, tip the meat mix in the middle and mould to a very thick sausage, roughly the shape of an aubergine. Roll up the foil tightly, twisting up the ends to create a Christmas cracker shape.
• Lay on a shallow roasting tin and roast in the oven for 35-40 mins, turning occasionally, or until a digital cooking thermometer reads 75C when pierced in the middle. Leave the kebab to cool a little, then unwrap the foil. Place back on the tray and brown under the grill or with a blowtorch.
• Place on a board and carve into thin slices. For full doner mode, you can hold the kebab up with a roasting fork or metal skewer and carve. Serve with warm pitta bread and any of the other accompaniments, including our chilli sauce and garlic yogurt sauce.

KIDDIE KEBABS WITH YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• To make kebabs, wash and clean fruit.
• Cut large fruit into bite-sized pieces.
• Thread different kinds of fruit on six-inch skewers, alternating between fresh and dried fruit (if using) when making kebabs.
• If not serving right away, place in a square or rectangular container.
• To prevent browning, sprinkle apples, pears, bananas, fresh peaches, or nectarines with a little lemon juice.
• To make dip, add honey or maple syrup and a dash or two of cinnamon (or to taste) to vanilla yogurt.
• Mix until combined.
• If not serving right away, store in a small, leak-proof container.
• Serve with kebabs.
