Hula Kebabs
If we were to go out to lunch together...I can almost guarantee you that if there was
pineapple anything on the menu, that's what I would be ordering. I truly can't get
enough of it in my life. Have you ever had a pineapple burger?? It's divine and I will
have to post that recipe for you soon. So, making these kebabs was a no brainer. A
true win, win. Serve it over coconut-pineapple rice and this girl is in heaven.
Hula Kebabs
1 kielbasa cut into 1 inch chunks
half of a pineapple, cut into chunks
1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
2 teaspoons sherry (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 red onion, cut into chunks
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 to 4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1) In a shallow dish, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, sesame oil, ginger and
garlic powder. Stir in the kielbasa, pineapple, green pepper and red onion and stir
until well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours.
2) Preheat the grill to med-high heat.
3) Lightly oil the grill grate. Layer your kielbasa and veggies onto the skewers.
Grill 15 to 20 or until veggies are tender. A perfect Summer meal.

I love it too..it is always the sweet point of a meal for me...this looks so dang delish! ;D
ReplyDeleteOoo that looks lovely. I love pineapple on all sorts of savory foods. Pizza being one (pineapple and bacon is great), chicken sandwiches with teriyaki and pineapple, etc.
ReplyDeleteI love pineapple, too. I have to admit, though, that it was the kielbasa in your picture that really made me excited.
ReplyDeleteHere is my question to you.. how do you stay so skinny!?
ReplyDeleteyum! i loveee kebabs! and pineapple for that matter :) xo jillian
ReplyDeleteYay, for all of us pineapple lovers!!! Portion control!!! =))
ReplyDeleteI'm a pineapple fiend too. Especially since I got preggo! I'm eating like 2 a week :)
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the "Pineapple Lovers" list!! Kebabs are one of my favorite things to eat on the weekends. I love to have it with rice pilaf and a good spring salad...YUM! Thank you for sharing the recipe. We will be grilling these this weekend. You should seriously do food photography for a living, your pictures are AMAZING! XO ~Liz

I love pineapple and am going to a bbq this weekend where kebabs are on the menu. Jackpot!
ReplyDeleteWow, Val that is an amazing picture! Literally I am drooling over it right now! This looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe need to go for dinner:)
ReplyDeleteHow do you make your meals look like art?
i am a pineapple girl too--and no i have never had a pineapple burger! wow! this looks so delish~ perfect for a summer bbq:)
ReplyDeletefun recipe...and gorgeous picture!
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the pineapple list! And I'd love it with kielbasa, it looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteso that picture is really from a magazine, right? I mean, you didn't cook that and then take a pic, right? because that would be a little too amazing. HOW DO YOU DO IT? If I ever make it over to your neck of the woods, will you cook for me??
ReplyDeleteor when I make it big and I'm a billionaire, I will fly you this way for the weekend and we can hang out, have a few glasses of wine and you can cook for me then, ok? deal? :)
Raven-anytime you come down this way!! We can have like a cooking class with great wine and I will show you all the prep work it takes to actually make this food look this way! I have not had a warm meal in a year! HA. Let's hang out soon!
ReplyDeleteWHAT? Not a warm meal in a year? ok, maybe instead of YOU cooking for ME, I will come to your place and cook you some nice mac and cheese and serve it to you piping got haha!!!
ReplyDeleteI know I've asked you this a million times, but where do you live in CA? I know it's southern...
Girl- Mac&Cheese it is!! I like a little cheese with my wine...LOL. I live just North of LA.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning photo! I LOVE pineapple. Great recipe!
ReplyDeleteI love pineapple but only by itself. I'm a weirdo and don't like fruit with my food. I don't like fruit cooked either. *runs and hides*
ReplyDeleteYum! This recipe looks & sounds so tasty! But what I'm loving even more than grilled pineapple is those curly skewers you used. What a pretty presentation! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks delish! One of my favorite desserts is the pineapple upside down cake at Grand Lux Cafe! We go every year on the day before Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeletewow just the skewers make me want to cook this recipe!
ReplyDeleteThose kebabs look amazing! I love the sound of the coconut pineapple rice - yum!
ReplyDeleteYep, your right- we must sell our house and move next to you. those kebabs just sealed the deal. Heavenly doesn't even describe what that picture says. They look magazine picture perfect and I can just taste the juicy goodness!
ReplyDeleteyou and i are totally alike with our love for pineapple. i have never had pineapple burger! but for some reason...it sounds INSANELY good!!! please share that soon! <3 have a great weekend Val!
ReplyDeleteWow, I must be a follower, because we have so much in common! I'm all about coffee, carbs, and a wee bit of sarcasm...The kebabs look good and great photography! Ciao form Newport Beach!!
ReplyDeleteI love pineapple! Especially now that it's summer. This recipe looks delish!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! You can't ever go wrong with anything tropical like pineapple!!
ReplyDeletewoah check out that swirly skewer! That's rad. I double that pineapple opinion. Nothing better than a fresh, ripe pineapple on a summer day.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to dig through your site for some cupcakes for my niece's birthday coming up, I know she would love any recipe of yours!
look at that beautiful presentation, LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteThose skewers in the picture are so interesting! I can't figure out how you get the food on and off them...
ReplyDeleteHannah-they are like half moons. I have 4 on the plate circled.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people emailed me about the skewers, asking where I bought them and you can get them at Home goods!!
I'm a big fan of grilled pineapple and this looks great! Love the skewers!
ReplyDeleteey lovely,
ReplyDeleteYour foodie photos are just so great!! They make my mouth literally waaaaater!!! So yummy-looking!
