Grilled Meat Skewers With Bay Leaves

Submitted by PanNan

"This recipe is from the Houston Chronicle. The smell of the bay leaves, while grilling, is wonderful. Throw some on the fire, too, for great aroma-therapy! The time indicated does not include time to prepare the grill."

Nothing like grilling on a fall day. We agree this was excellant! The bayleaves gave it a nice touch. This is a keeper.

This was EXCELLENT! I used my metal skewers cause "me" and wood ones just don't work. I also tenderized stew meat. I love kabobs and always bring home store made ones and they are so expensive. Now I know better. Thanks for a great recipe.
