Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables; assemble the skewers

  • Peel the onion and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Remove the stems and seeds from the sweet mini peppers; cut the peppers into 1-inch pieces.
  • Cut the zucchini lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into 1-inch pieces.

Using 6 [12] wooden skewers, thread the onion, peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients. Lightly brush the vegetables with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. 

2

Cook the vegetable skewers

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, working in batches if needed, add the vegetable skewers and cook, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. Meanwhile, start preparing the scallions and your protein.

3

Prep and cook the scallions and your protein

  • Trim the root ends from the scallions. 

Sausages: 

Pat dry with a paper towel; prick in a few places with a fork, if desired.

In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions and sausages, season the scallions with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until the scallions are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, and the sausages are browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the scallions to a plate while you continue cooking the sausages.

 

Chicken: 

  • Pat dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. 

In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions and chicken, season the scallions with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until the scallions are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, and the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer the scallions to a plate while you continue cooking the chicken.

 

Steaks: 

  • Pat dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. 

In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions and steaks, season the scallions with salt and pepper, and cook, turning frequently, until the scallions are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, and the steaks are well browned and your desired doneness is reached. For medium-rare, that’s 6 to 8 minutes for top sirloins and 8 to 12 minutes for filet mignons. Transfer the scallions to a plate while you continue cooking the steaks.

 

Pork chops: 

  • Pat dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. 

In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions and pork, season the scallions with salt and pepper, and cook, turning frequently, until the scallions are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, and the pork is browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the scallions to a plate while you continue cooking the pork chops.

 

Plant-based chicken: 

  • Pat dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. 

In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions and plant-based chicken, season the scallions with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until the scallions are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, and the plant-based chicken is browned and heated through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the scallions to a plate while you continue cooking the plant-based chicken.

 

Transfer your protein to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes, then cut into ½-inch-thick slices, leave plant-based chicken pieces whole. 

Serve

Transfer the scallions, your protein, and vegetable skewers to individual plates and serve with the spicy green harissa.
