Colourful BBQ skewers – Recipes for every taste
Sun on your skin, the BOWL at the beach, a cool drink in your hand – and the scent of freshly grilled skewers in the air. Skewers are the perfect soul food for relaxed summer days with friends: easy to prepare, adaptable to any taste, and adding colour to the grill.
They work best on the plancha – here you can sear the skewers until crispy on the outside while keeping them tender inside. Vegetables, feta, or scampi unfold their full flavour without drying out..
