Pork Sausage Kebabs Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: Cut sausage into 1″ pieces and place in a large plastic bag with pepper and zucchini pieces.

Step 2: Combine remaining ingredients except mushrooms; pour into the bag. Seal bag and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight, turning bag over occasionally.

Step 3: Drain marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Alternately thread pieces of marinated sausage and vegetables and mushrooms on long metal skewers.

Step 4: Barbecue kebabs over low heat until the sausage is cooked through and well browned, about 15 minutes (or in oven on broil for 12-15 minutes), basting frequently with the marinade to prevent the vegetables from burning.

Step 5: Serve over a mixture of wild and brown rice or wrap a generous slice of Italian bread around the kebab; slide out the skewer and eat as a hot sandwich.
