Baby Steppin' Ka-Bobs (7 points)

1-2 lbs. loin cut beef, lamb or pork

MARINADE:
1 1/2 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. tomato paste
3 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp. soy sauce
2-3 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary, summer savory, thyme or parsley
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
black pepper, cayenne and cumin to taste

VEGGIES:
1 lb. small red potatoes
12 small boiling onions
1 basket cherry tomatoes
15 small mushrooms
2 bell peppers, cut into quarters
2 small yellow squash or zucchini cut into 1-2-in. slices

Trim the meat of as much fat as possible and cut into thin slices.

Combine all marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl and pour half into the trimmed meat. Mix well to coat evenly.

Thread the meat tightly onto the skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water a few minutes before skewering the meat.

In a medium saucepan, combine the potatoes, onions and 1 tsp. of salt. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.

Drain potatoes and onions, rinse with cool water and set aside.

Skewer the vegetables one by one until your skewer is full. Once that skewer fills up, repeat the process until you either run out of skewers or veggies. Brush veggie skewers with marinade.

Prepare your barbecue grill.

Cook veggie skewers about 5-6 minutes, turning once or twice. Transfer to warm platter.

Cook the meat 3-4 minutes, very close to the flame, turning once. Serve with veggies.

Grilled Chicken with Corn on the Cob
POINTS® Value |  7
Servings | 4

1-1/4 lb. cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup fresh or canned tangerine juice
2 TB fresh lemon juice
1 TB fresh lime juice
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. table salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
4 medium corn on the cob ears, in husk
1 TB olive oil
1 tsp. butter
1 TB chili powder
1/4 tsp. table salt
1 sprays cooking spray
8 medium scallions, about 1 bunch

Slice chicken into 4 or 8 pieces. In a large bowl, mix together tangerine,
lemon and lime juices,
garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper; add chicken and marinate for a
minimum of 10 minutes or
up to overnight
in refrigerator.

In a large pot filled with cold water, add unhusked ears of corn; soak for 10
minutes.

In a small microwavable bowl, combine oil, butter, chili powder and remaining
1/4 teaspoon of salt;
microwave for about 15 seconds and stir to combine (or melt in a saucepan if
you do not have a
microwave). Remove corn from pot, pull back husk (be careful to leave husk
attached to corn) and
remove as much of silk as possible. Brush each piece of corn with about 1/2
teaspoon of oil mixture;
cover corn with husk again.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat (or grill on an outdoor grill). Grill
corn, turning every few minutes,
until husks are blackened and charred, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove corn
from grill and cover with
aluminum foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

Off heat, coat grill pan with cooking spray. Add chicken and grill, flipping
once, until cooked through,
about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and cover to keep warm
until ready to serve.

Next, place scallions in any remaining oil mixture from corn and toss to
coat. Grill scallions, using tongs
to flip them occasionally, until soft and beginning to blacken in spots,
about 2 to 4 minutes.

Yields about 4 ounces of chicken, 1 ear of corn and 2 scallions per serving.
