Astuce

For this recipe for marinated kebabs, we recommend an PDO olive oil from Languedoc (subtle flavour) for its dominant notes of almond and tomato. Or choose another olive oil with a subtle flavour from among these: PDO Nyons olive oil, PDO Nice olive oil, a French olive oil of the Amellau, Cailletier, Grossane, Lucques, Négrette, Tanche, Verdale from the Bouches-du-Rhône…

Instructions

  • This recipe is designed to make both marinades. If you’re only using one, double the quantities given!

  • Mix together the ingredients for each marinade.

  • Cut the turkey breast into cubes (about 3 x 3 cm)

  • Wash the cherry tomatoes and courgettes. Cut the courgettes into thick slices (1.5 cm).

  • Thread the turkey cubes onto the skewer, alternating them with the vegetables.

  • Place the skewers in two airtight containers. Brush them with each marinade.

  • Leave to marinate for 2 hours in the fridge.

  • Heat up the barbecue (or a frying pan) and cook the skewers, turning them regularly (for about 15 minutes).

  • Tip: You can also cook your kebabs in the oven.
