(makes 4-5 skewers)
2-3 pound of tuna, cut into minimum 2 inch cubes
1/2 pineapple cut into 2 inch cubes
1 pablano pepper cut into 2 inch cubes
1 red bell pepper cut into 2 inch cubes
Marinade/Baste
1/2 cup of soy sauce
1/2 lemon juiced
3 tablespoons of honey
1 clove of garlic minced
Cracked black pepper
4-5 wooden skewers
1. Before you get started, soak your wooden skewers in water, and, fire up your grill. In the end, your grill should get to a minimum temperature of 500F–at the grill, not the hood cover temperature gauge.
Make The Tuna Kebabs Marinade/Baste
2. Start with a 2 cup mixing container and then add the soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, honey and cracked black pepper. Now mix and stir vigorously. Then, separate the marinade-baste in half, into 2 containers.
Make The Tuna Kebabs
3. Lace the soaked wooden skewers with two chunks of tuna, peppers, and pineapple, each.
4. Now, place the kebabs in large pan and pour the marinade over the skewers. Usually, you allow the marinade time to flavor the fish, but not in this case. Thus, you’re ready for the grill!
5. Begin by grilling each side of the skewers just enough to achieve a nice color. With each turn of the skewers, remember to baste with a basting brush. And, also remember, to watch the center of your tuna chunks to ensure they do not become opaque. Whatever you do, don’t over cook your fish, especially tuna!
6. When done, place your kebabs on a serving platter and pour the remaining baste over the fish. Don’t forget to tell Wilma, it’s time to eat!!
