When we saw the barbecue swords in the online shop at Grillrost.com, we knew immediately that we had to have these beautifully crafted skewers. We have recently turned into real skewer barbecuers because it's just so much fun and offers so many possibilities. The great thing about barbecuing with skewers is that they don't turn automatically and the man or woman at the barbecue can really get to grill the food.
Kebab skewer, a recipe for beginners
Today we have brought kebab skewers as a recipe, as we think they are great for getting started with the barbecue sabres. They are easy to make and really thankful for the roasted flavours and degree of doneness when cooking. The kebab skewers are grilled directly over a charcoal fire and get their typical smoky flavour from the dripping fat. As an idea of how you can enjoy the kebab skewers, we also provide a recipe for an open pita with kebab. For this, peppers are skewered onto the grill swords and grilled directly. The grill swords are also suitable for grilling vegetables and many other side dishes. The skewers in this recipe are made purely from beef, but you can also use minced lamb or a mixture of minced lamb and beef, depending on your taste.
Hardfacts about the barbecue swords
The barbecue swords are made of 100% stainless steel and the handle is made of solid beech wood. With a material thickness of 3 mm and a width of 15 mm, they are just right for providing good stability and are designed so that the food can be easily skewered. The shape also prevents food from falling off the skewers. The swords can be used over a charcoal fire with the aid of a grid. They also fit into the windbreak from Grillrost.com for various Napoleon barbecue models.
