RIBBONED SIMANIM SKEWER
INGREDIENTS:
- it’s not a recipe as much as technique. If you follow these steps you can create the ribbons and make the skewers out of any veg you like!!!
Cooking steps
Step 1
Thinly slice your vegetable. Depending on the vegetable, it’sshape and hard it is you may use a knife, a peeler or even a mandoline to get those slices super thin.
Step 2
lay all the vegetable slices in a single layer on a cooling rack. Sprinkle kosher over all the veggies.
Step 3
-you do not need to douse them with salt. For reference: all the veg you see in the video had only 2 tsp of kosher salt sprinkled over them.
Step 4
allow to sit for 2 hours so that the salt can draw out the water and make them pliable.
Step 5
wipe off water and salt, fold one piece of veg at a time accordion style. Place on skewer.
Step 6
once all your skewers are made heat grill pan on medium high.
Step 7
brush vegetable skewers with olive oil and add 1 tsp olive oil to the pan itself.
Step 8
sear for 3 minutes on both sides.
Step 9
once you flip to the second side add 3 Tbsp water to the pan and immediately cover with a piece of foil to allow the veg to steam and cook through.

Step 11
