Cooks
Tips: If using
eight 12-inch bamboo skewers, soak them in water for
at least 10 minutes
before grilling. When cutting onion into
wedges for kabobs, leave root end intact so wedges
hold
together during skewering. To make lime
wedges, cut lime crosswise in half. Cut each half
into
quarters, forming wedges Serve with tri-color
couscous, which combines the flavors of spinach,
tomato and basil with regular couscous. Add black
beans for a fiber boost.
