- Hey everyone!
It's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com.
We've partnered with Tabasco
to create these grilled pineapple and sausage skewers
that are sweet, spicy, smoky and so flavorful.
(upbeat music)
We'll start with
my favorite ingredient here, the pineapple.
Slice half of a large pineapple into 18 pieces,
Each about one-and-a-half inches wide.
For even grilling,
we're going to slice every ingredient
into one-and-a-half inch pieces.
(upbeat music)
Transfer those to a large bowl and set them aside.
Now slice one large bell pepper.
You can use red or orange or half of each,
which is what I did.
The bell peppers give the skewers
a beautiful pop of color and flavor.
Add those right into the bowl,
then quarter a medium red onion
and break the pieces apart
so you can skewer them easily.
Now, last but definitely not least, the sausages.
Cut those into 18 even pieces.
Now, you won't believe
the three ingredient, easy marinade.
Start with a quarter cup of barbecue sauce,
a quarter cup of real maple syrup,
and two teaspoons of Tabasco sauce.
Tabasco is the secret ingredient here.
It adds a surprising, but nice amount of heat
and red pepper flavor to the skewers.
You'll need six medium metal skewers.
Thread the sausage, pineapple pieces,
red bell pepper and red onion onto the skewer,
alternating the ingredients as you add them.
Now, pre-heat your grill to medium heat,
about 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Brush both sides of the skewers
generously with the glaze.
(upbeat music)
Place the skewers on the grill and cook them
for about two to three minutes per side,
with the grill covered on medium heat.
Brush the skewers with more glaze
every time you turn them.
You should be grilling them
for a total of 10-12 minutes.
If you notice your skewers are browning too quickly,
reduce the heat to medium-low.
You'll want to give the sauce time
to caramelize on the skewers.
(food sizzling)
They are done.
Grilled to perfection.
I had a little help from my husband,
but (laughs) they turned out perfect
and they smell so good.
So now, all that's left to do is the taste test.
That's what we're gonna do right now.
Let's just eat all of it. (laughs)
I'm excited.
Going for my favorite part first,
grilled pineapple.
And if you've never tried grilled pineapple,
you're basically missing out on life. (laughs)
Alright, here we go.
These brunch kebabs,
little bit of spice right there.
They have this tropical flavor to them
because of the pineapple
and then they've got the sausage, the bell pepper.
They are loaded.
Perfect for brunch.
So much flavor.
Alright, now let's try the sausage,
because that's my second favorite part.
Just as good. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
(laughs)
This is seriously delicious.
That glaze coats every bite.
They've got sweet, savory, spicy.
This glaze is amazing.
You can really taste the Tabasco in there.
It's not overly spicy,
but you can definitely feel the heat.
Pair this with some scrambled eggs,
and you've got the perfect brunch menu.
