As the summer evenings warm up, there’s nothing better than gathering friends and family for a barbecue. I’ve been trying out some Mediterranean-inspired twists on traditional barbecue fare, and I want to share a couple of recipes that have become favorites in my kitchen.
One standout is Mediterranean grilled chicken skewers. Simply marinate chunks of chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs like oregano and thyme. Thread these onto skewers with cherry tomatoes and bell peppers for a vibrant dish. Grill them until beautifully charred, and serve with tzatziki sauce for an extra flavor boost. It’s a fresh and delicious option!
For a vegetarian delight, consider grilling halloumi cheese and pairing it with a refreshing watermelon and mint salad. The salty, crispy cheese complements the sweetness of the watermelon, while the mint adds a lovely burst of freshness. This combination can really enhance your barbecue spread!
