Making veggie kebabs
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can make veggie kebabs.
Key learning points
- Kebabs originate from the Middle East, with vegetables and/or meat in a marinade (which helps soften/flavour the food).
- A recipe is a set of instructions for preparing and cooking a dish (name, ingredients, equipment and method).
- When preparing and cooking food we need to work safely and hygienically.
- The food skills used to make veggie kebabs are cutting, threading, making a marinade (shaking/whisking) and brushing.
Keywords
Kebab - vegetables, fish or meat cooked on a skewer
Threading - to push food onto a skewer
Marinade - adds flavour to food
Recipe - a set of instructions for making a dish
Common misconception
When cooking it is fine not to weigh and measure accurately, approximate measurements are fine.
It is important to weigh and measure ingredients accuarely, so that the recipe works well.
Teacher tip
If pupils find cutting tricky, or you feel that they are not confident, use the ‘fork secure’ technique or pre-cut the vegetables. To thread, instruct pupils to press the skewer into the food, with the food sitting on the chopping board (so it is stable).
Equipment
For ingredients and equipment see the recipe in Additional materials.
