| | | |  | | | Cook’s Tip: If using eight 12-inch bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes before grilling.
Cook’s Tip: When cutting onion into wedges for kabobs, leave root end intact so wedges hold together during skewering.
Cook’s Tip: To make lime wedges, cut lime crosswise in half. Cut each half into quarters, forming wedges.
Cook’s Tip: Serve with tri-color couscous, which combines the flavors of spinach, tomato and basil with regular couscous. Add black beans for a fiber boost.
