Marla
List of Ingredients
1 lb chicken, boned and skinned (use what you like)
1 lb Italian sausage (optional)
1 lb eggplant, zucchini or baby squash
2 bell peppers, preferably one each red and yellow
2 lemons, cut into eighths
salt and pepper to taste
Recipe
Start a gas or charcoal grill or preheat the broiler; fire should
be moderately hot. If using wood skewers, soak them in water
while you prepare food. Cut chicken, sausage and veggies into
1 - 2 inch pieces. Using 8 skewers, alternate ingredients, but
generally, surround both chicken and sausage with the more moist
lemon and eggplant. Pack food fairly tightly together on each
skewer, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tuck some rosemary
among chicken and vegetables. Grill over moderate heat, covered
or not, turning the skewers 3 or 4 times to brown evenly. Total
cooking time will be 10 to 15 minutes, depending on heat of grill
and distance from heat source. When chicken and sausage are
browned, eggplant will be tender; do not overcook. Serve,
squeezing hot lemon juice over all. Serves 8.
