Instructions
Break bamboo skewers in half and soak for at least 20 min in water.
Make separate skewers for chicken, beef, and vegetables. 5 pieces of chicken or beef per skewer.
Start with chicken and beef so they can rest while the veg is grilling.
Grill for 10-15 minutes until done, rotating every 5 min.
Start the veg after first rotation. Will also take 10-15 min, but this gives us 5 minutes of resting for meat.
Serve over saffron rice.
