Summer Skewer Party on the Roof
August 18th, 2011
Last week I hosted the epitome of a summer soiree. We grilled on the roof and enjoyed a meal made almost entirely out of skewers!
The Mister manned the grill.
I served an assortment of dishes from garlic marinated beef, shrimp and shitaki mushrooms….
Caprese skewers.
A fantastic “forbidden rice” with grilled peaches and sweet sugar snap peas. I dressed it with a light and tangy ginger vinaigrette.
But the ultimate star of the show was the platter of skewered donuts.
I’m savoring these last few weeks of sweet summer.

Comment by manvi @ mochatini on August 19, 2011 at 1:46 PMDo you mind sharing the recipe for the “forbidden rice” salad? It looked amazing & exotic. Was that wild/black rice? Loved almost-everything-with-skewers dinner idea. Can’t wait to try it myself.
