BBQ Caribbean Beef Kabobs

Sat, 18 May 2002 10:54:04 -0400

Now this is tasty! You can use the same marinade for chicken but make more marinade and reserve before you put the chicken in it, discard the marinade that you used on the chicken and use only the reserved marinade for basting, I like to serve these kabobs with BBQ'd veggie kabobs and potatoes done on the grill too (there will be other recipes for the veggies and BBQ Potatoes on Zaar) -- posted by Bergy

The title sounds strange, but the mixture of red beetroot (beets) and chocolate gives a wonderfully "earthy" flavour, not to sweet and for those who don;t like beetroot you really cannot taste the beetroot taste. From Delicious Magazine July 2004 -- posted by Janine Smith

This recipe comes from Williams-Sonoma. It is delicious for brunch or scale the servings down to serve 8 for dessert. My addition to this recipe is using green tipped bananas.
