spiedies

A while ago I made yummy spiedies, which is basically just an Italian-American kabob.  The meat marinates for... well, as long as you let it.  At least 1 day, but up to 2 weeks.  Mine marinated for 3 days.  And the flavor? It was delicious.

My largest regret is that... I don't have a grill.  It would've been so much tastier with a smoky flavor. . . with the juices oozing out and dribbling down my chin with each bite.... the slightly crispy or blackened outside of the chicken cubes.  Yes.  I want a grill (well, only sometimes, but really it would just mean I had one more piece of "stuff" and I hate "stuff"). 




The recipe suggested it be served with Italian Scali bread, but I didn't know how to make that so I made Greek Flatbread instead.  Unfortunately, I didn't cook it all the way and it was still a little doughy.  It was still good though.


See how juicy it is?  The juices didn't have anywhere to drip to when the meat was cooking... and the outside was soft, not crispy. :(



This was especially annoying... all the juices from the chicken just soaked into the bread and made it soggy.  Yes.  It would've been better with a grill.

Jesse gave this one either a 4.5 or a 5, I think, but I can't remember for sure.

I would give it a 4.5 or so had it been made with a grill. :P  The vegetables are optional too. . . Jesse liked the onion but he didn't like the green pepper.  I think traditionally it's just the marinated meat that is eaten in Italian bread.

I will definitely make this again someday. . . once I have access to a grill. :P
