Published in Carolina Country Magazine May 2019
We don’t let a little thing like winter stop us from firing up our grills here in North Carolina, but now that spring has sprung, some of us cook on our grills (NOT on a “BBQ!”) nearly every day. Few things come close to the satisfying flavors of juicy meat, with a light coat of “char” (aka “almost burnt”)… enjoyed on the patio or porch, swatting gnats and skeeters… cold beverage close by!
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a big citrus fan, most especially orange, and request slices of orange in my tea when out… no lemon please! Most of my friends do this now too! So you will find many of my recipes to be orange (or lime) inspired. Like these kabobs. Citrus just brightens up anything it touches, and for me, pairs well with a bit of char.
Sometimes, it’s hard to decide whether to do chicken, pork or beef. So for this one, I decided to fix one sauce that could go both ways for poultry and meats. I used beef this time, but this will also pair beautifully with pork. And this way, you can please everybody in the crowd by serving some of both.
Be sure to throw together some of my Dilly Grilled Potato Salad too… a simple side that will go well with most everything.
