Jamaican Jerk Beef Kebabs

These kabobs are idiot-proof and absolutely delicious.  I made them for a baby shower.  It was nice to have them assembled ahead of time and then I got the hubby to act as man-servant/grill master.  All the girls are asking for the recipe!  I got the plantains at the local Latin market and made plantain-only kebobs with the extra slices.  Like dessert!

This recipe is one of my summer grilling staples. Great for entertaining, guests like the unique tasting marinade. I never cook with plantains, but add purple onion. I like it spicy and next time will include some of the Serrano pepper seeds in the marinade. Sided with a Mediterranean couscous.

This is delicious, don't get me wrong, but it was calling out for a sauce or something. I made a mango and cucumber salsa with red onions, lime juice, cilantro and jalapeños and it really finished this perfectly. A neutral side of basmati rice balanced the flavors out really well. A delicious, healthy and quick meal, love it.

I used two habaneros... VERY spicey! However delicious! Loved the plantains. I made white rice as a side dish and also served honeydew and cantalope to cool the heat. I will make it again!

Wow, these are awesome. Simple and delicious. As they cooked on our grill, they filled our balcony with the most amazing sweet-spicy aroma. I served with black beans and toasted pita. Try them! They're wonderful! Step-by-step photos on my blog: http://tinyurl.com/3aev22r
