Other ways to making Tuna Vegetable Skewers
To prepare the ingredients, cut the tuna into large squares. Slice the pepper, red pepper, and mushrooms in quarters. Place the vegetables on separate skewers from the tuna. The tuna will go on the last skewer and will be flash-cooked at the end. To prepare the kebabs, make a tangy sauce with garlic sauce, hoisin sauce, and basil. Then, coat the kebabs with the marinade and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
To prepare the skewers, cut the tuna into large squares. Slice the vegetables into small pieces. Marinate the spinach with lemon juice and sesame oil. Add the kebabs to the sauce and marinate them for 30 minutes. Then, place the kebabs on the grill’s edge. Once the skewers are ready, grill them for 6 minutes.
After marinating the tuna in the marinade, skewer the skewers. You can cook them on the grill until the outside is charred and the fish is pink in the middle. If you’d like to serve them with spinach and rice, then serve them with the sauce. For a delicious, quick dinner, these Tuna Vegetable Skewers are the perfect choice.
Some tips
The tuna and vegetables should be seasoned before cooking. The vegetables should be quartered or thinly sliced and placed on separate skewers. For the sauce, mix the anchovy with arugula, lemon juice, and basil. After preparing the ingredients, marinate the tuna for 30 minutes. The kebabs should be cooked in a nonstick pan.
For the vegetables, cut the eggplant and zucchini into large dices. Peel and remove the seeds. Add the tomatoes and cheese. Thread the vegetables and fish onto the skewers. When ready, you may use a grill pan with a little oil to brown the fish. If you prefer to eat the fish and veggies separately, leave the vegetables out and marinate the tuna overnight. Just be sure to rinse them.

FAQs: Your Curiosities Answered
Q1: Can I use a different fish for this recipe? Absolutely! While tuna’s firm texture is wonderful, you can swap it with swordfish or salmon for a different twist. Adjust grilling times accordingly to ensure the fish is perfectly cooked.
Q2: How do I prevent the vegetables from falling off the skewers? Great question! To prevent this, marinate the veggies before skewering. Additionally, threading them through flat, sturdy rosemary sprigs or using double skewers can help keep them in place.
Q3: Can I make these skewers ahead of time? Of course! Prepare the skewers ahead, but grill them just before serving to retain that fresh-off-the-grill appeal.
Q4: What’s the best way to store leftovers? If you somehow have leftovers, remove the ingredients from the skewers, store them separately in airtight containers, and refrigerate. Consume within 1-2 days for the best taste and quality.
Q5: Can I use a grill pan instead of an outdoor grill? Absolutely! A grill pan works well too. Just make sure it’s well-heated and lightly oiled to achieve those beautiful grill marks.
