Ingredients

For the kebabs

  • 1 package Beyond Meat spicy italian sausage
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1/2 lb white button mushrooms or baby bellas

For the marinade

  • 2 cups olive and veggie oil blend
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic smashed
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh thyme pulled from stem
  • 1/2 cup fresh oregano chopped

Instructions

  • Cut sausages into 1.5inch long pieces, getting about 4-5 pieces per sausage.  Chef’s Note: The sausage will be really soft when first cut, this texture will change greatly once you start to cook it so don’t worry about this.
  • Clean and cut bell peppers into 1.5 by 1.5 inch squares.
  • Clean and de stem mushrooms.
  • Peel and cut onions into 1.5 by 1.5 inch squares.
  • Add all veggies plus plant sausage into a baking dish so all veggies and plant meat are flat.
  • In a separate bowl add the oil, shallots, garlic and fresh herbs, whisk all ingredients together and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour this mixture over prepared veggies and plant meat.  Give everything a good rub so everything has a good coating of marinade.
  • Wrap and set in fridge for 6 hours or overnight (for better flavor let set overnight).
  • Preheat an outside grill or a cast iron skillet, preferably one with grill marks inside, on the stove top on high.
  • Once veggies and sausage have marinated remove sausages only from the pan and cook sausage for 2-3 minutes per side before skewering. This is an important step and will firm the sausage up and change the texture.
  • Remove sausage from grill, keep pan warm on medium high, let sausage cool and remove veggies from marinade and start to assemble skewers.
  • Start at the bottom of a 6 or 8’  skewer with a stack of three bell peppers, one of each color, then add 1 mushroom, add 1 or 2 pieces of sausage, add a small stack of red onions, 3-4 pieces, add 1 or 2 more pieces of sausage, then repeat the same process from the bottom, 3 bell pepper pieces, and end with 1 mushroom on top.
  • Oil heated pan and place skewers in pan or on heated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes or until desired doneness.  Be sure to turn kebabs every 2-3 minutes so all sides cook evenly.
  • Remove from grill, drizzle with marinade and enjoy!
