Instructions
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.
