Tips
- If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 15 to 30 minutes before cooking so that they don burn on the grill; metal skewers do not need to be soaked.
- When making the dressing, don be alarmed if the tahini seizes and becomes grainy at first; just keep whisking and adding small splashes of water and you ll reach a creamy consistency in no time.
