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.

Brochettes originated in France and are a popular dish in French cuisine. They are also commonly found in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine.
Dietary considerations
Brochettes can be made to accommodate a variety of dietary needs, such as gluten-free or low-carb diets. Use vegetables like zucchini or eggplant instead of bread for a low-carb option, or use gluten-free soy sauce in the marinade for a gluten-free option.
