For Grilling

Instructions

1. Prepare Skewers:
   If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

   In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

6. Serve & Garnish:
   Transfer skewers to a platter. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and serve with lemon wedges.

Chef’s Tips
