Plantain Kebab
Did you know that plantains are cooked around the globe? Green plantains are unripe, and carry a vegetal flavour akin to cooked potato. When these plantains are used in dishes such as curries or soups, the sauces or the spices lend flavour to them. So it is fitting to use plantains to make kebabs, isn’t it? You can choose delicious combinations such as plantain and chickpea kebab, plantain and tomato or even plantain and fried cheese kebab. Whatever pairing you decide on, plantains definitely make a compelling case for a meatless alternative!
Fruit Kebab
The idea of a fruit kebab will invite memories of sun-kissed picnics on the grass. But you know what? Fruit kebabs should be around the whole year. After all, what is simpler than kicking your cravings goodbye with a bowl of assorted fruits on a stick. Fruit kebabs are comfort food that we can easily carry to work, too. They may not be kebabs in the traditional sense, but they are rock solid at making you calm and collected for the busy work day ahead.
Mexican-Inspired Kebab
Avocado, salsa, sour cream and a delicious, super soft kebab. Oh, don’t forget the charred tomatoes. What’s special about this is that you’ll be making the kebab with avocado and some greens such as spinach. You can eat to your heart’s content, as each one of the kebabs are highly nutritious.
