Tropical Sausage Kabobs Recipes

HAWAIIAN KABOBS

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Place pineapple chunks and vegetables in a large bowl; set aside. , In a small saucepan, combine reserved pineapple juice with the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Pour over vegetable mixture; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. , Remove pineapple and vegetables from marinade and reserve marinade. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the pineapple, green pepper, onion if desired, mushrooms and tomatoes. , Grill kabobs for 20 minutes or until soft, turning and basting with marinade frequently.

HAWAIIAN TERIYAKI SHISH KABOBS TWO WAYS (WITH FIELD ROAST OR BEEF AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, brown sugar, sherry, garlic, ginger, and dry mustard until blended. Reserve 1 1/2 cups for basting and marinating.
• Place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup pineapple juice and heat over medium heat, uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. As soon as it comes to a boil, whisk in cornstarch and water, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then refrigerate in a sealed container until ready to serve.
• Place cut-up steak in a quart-size or larger zip bag. Pour 1/2 cup of marinade over the steak and seal well, swishing the meat and marinade to help ensure even coverage. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (up to 12 hours).
• Soak the skewers. Fill a long baking dish about 1/3 full with water and lay skewers in the water. Allow to soak for about 15 minutes. This helps prevent the skewers from burning once on the grill.
• Carefully thread veggies, pineapple, and Field Roast or meat onto skewers in whatever order you like. I like to use bell peppers on the ends because they help keep everything on.
• Heat your grill to about 350 - 375 degrees (medium direct heat). Place shish kabobs on grill. Baste with the reserved marinade (segregating portions for meat/non-meat kabobs if desired). Cook, turning occasionally to help ensure even cooking and continuing to baste occasionally, for about 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and meat is cooked through.
• Serve with rice (if desired) and teriyaki sauce for dipping/drizzling as desired.
