Ingredients
- Kielbasa
- Fresh pineapple chunks
- Light or dark brown sugar
- Bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)
- Barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a grill pan or oven, preheat accordingly.
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick. Chop the bell peppers into similar-sized chunks, and if using fresh pineapple, cut it into cubes as well.
- Make the Glaze: In a bowl, combine ½ cup of brown sugar with ¼ cup of your preferred barbecue sauce. Mix until well blended. This will be the glaze for the kabobs.
- Assemble the Kabobs: On skewers, thread the kielbasa, pineapple, and bell pepper pieces alternately. Leave a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
- Brush with Glaze: Generously brush the assembled kabobs with the brown sugar barbecue glaze, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. Brush with more glaze halfway through for extra flavor and caramelization.
- Check for Doneness: The kielbasa is pre-cooked, so you're mainly looking for a good char and a caramelized exterior. The pineapple should be slightly charred and juicy.
- Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
