Tips & Tricks
- Soaking the wooden skewers in water before grilling helps prevent them from burning.
- Experiment with different vegetables like cherry tomatoes, zucchini, or mushrooms for added variety.
- For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the skewers before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Serve the skewers with a side of Spanish rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Serving advice
Serve the grilled Spanish skewers on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. Provide a small bowl of the dipping sauce alongside the skewers for guests to enjoy.
Presentation advice
