Brochettes

Meat skewers

Brochettes can be made with a variety of meats, such as chicken, beef, or lamb, and vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. The key to a good brochette is to marinate the meat beforehand to add flavor and tenderness. Once the meat and vegetables are skewered, they can be grilled over high heat until cooked through. Serve with a side salad or grilled bread for a complete meal.
