2 Mediterreanean Style Lamb Kebabs
This grilled lamb skewers recipe is marinaded first in a delicious Middle Eastern spice blend with lemon juice, garlic, onion, and parsley.
Then the lamb is grilled at high heat until it is medium rare, or more well done if you prefer.
Absolutely delicious served with hummus, flatbreads or a watermelon salad.
3 Grilled BBQ Tofu Skewers
This vegan recipe is so tasty even meat eaters are bound to love it.
Tofu can be bland if not correctly prepared, but the blend of spices, sauces and flavours in this marinade make it anything but.
This is an easy recipe to prepare and grill but it definitely does not skimp on flavour. It could well save you if happen to have vegans or vegetarians to cater for at your next barbecue.
4 Steak Kebabs with Fresh Veggies
These delicious and colourful kebabs are marinated in soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic and pepper.

6 BBQ Mushroom Shawarma
This is another delicious vegan recipe that you’ll want to try out on your barbecue.
Making your own shawarma spice mix is easy and rewarding and the homemade Toum (Lebanese garlic condiment) tastes authentic and quite potent!
Served with pitta bread and a flavoursome tarragon salad.
7 Venison Kebabs with Twistziki
You’ve probably heard of the Greek dip Tzatziki made from cucumber and yoghurt, well this recipe calls for a little twist to it in the form of adding radishes to make Tzatziki more peppery.
Venison may well be a meat you hadn’t considered for a BBQ skewer recipe, but it’s definitely a fantastic and leaner alternative to beef.
This is a really light and delicious way to enjoy venison kebabs, along with a lovely fresh green salad.
8 Turkish Lamb Kofta Kebabs

Even better they only take about 30 minutes to make!
9 Bang Bang Cauliflower Kebabs
Believe it or not cauliflower is a great vegetable to barbecue on a skewer. The texture you get from cauliflower kebabs is quite unique – they really crisp up well and take on those charred flavours very well.
If you pair your cauliflower kebabs with a delicious Bang Bang sauce made from sweet chilli sauce, Sriracha, chilli flakes, lime juice & garlic, then you know you’re onto a winner of a dish.
