Chicken Ka Baobs. Total there were eight. All i had to pay for was 3 chicken breasts (one package), whole Portabella mushrooms, and an onion. Grand total i think i spent $6 on this meal.
Seasoned with garlic and black pepper, the chicken was cut into fairly small chunks so that it wouldn't take too long to cook. Clearly the fire is going a little more hot than we had hoped for but we managed. The following were from my garden:
-2 green peppers
-1 very large red pepper
-1 avg size yellow Vidalia pepper
-1 orange pepper
-2 purple peppers
Thoughts:
The purple weren't anything special in the end. The color cooks out of them and they look green in the end. I had heard that they taste a lot like greens but never personally tried them so there was only one way to find out. No regrets in using them since peppers are always good. The onion was good and plentiful on the ka bobs but i'm debating on whether i should go with a red onion next time. Supposedly the reds hold their flavor and the act of grilling brings it out better. Might pull out the McCormick's marinade again for the chicken next time after i cube it up. That should give it a nice surprise. The shrooms were killer. Period. Never sacrifice taste for cost. The 'Bella shrooms are worth the cost.
Results:
A total of 8 ka bobs were made. Since Jolly stopped by (he has food radar), he contributed 5 hot Italians which stretched the meal. With the Italians, the three of us wound up having 2 leftover which was my goal. They weren't all that great reheated for lunch but at least it was healthy!
We all ate 2 ka bobs and a sausage except for jolly who ate like 50 of his Italians. Washed the ka bobs down with a Berry Weiss while sitting on my front stairs like usual and enjoying a cool evening.
Stay tuned for more ka bob recipes as the summer progresses....
