BARBECUED PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• Whisk the sugar, soy sauce, onion, garlic and black pepper together in a large bowl. Add the pork and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Overnight is best if possible.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Thread the pork onto the soaked skewers. Cook on the preheated grill until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

STEAK, TOMATO, AND OKRA KEBABS

Steps:

• Marinate steak:
• Whisk together shallot, vinegar, mustard, sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 3/4 tsp pepper. Add 1/2 cup oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
• Toss steak with 1/2 tsp salt, then marinate in a sealed bag with 6 Tbsp vinaigrette, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 2 hours. Chill remaining vinaigrette.
• Make kebabs:
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).
• Meanwhile, toss tomatoes and okra with remaining 3 Tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp salt. Thread tomatoes onto 3 or 4 skewers. Thread okra crosswise onto pairs of parallel skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces. Put on a tray.
• Thread steak onto remaining skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces (discard marinade). Put on another tray.
• Oil grill rack, then grill steak skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, about 5 minutes total for medium-rare (about 8 minutes if using steak tips). Transfer to a platter. Drizzle with some of remaining vinaigrette while hot and let stand 5 minutes.
• Grill tomato and okra skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until tomatoes just begin to wilt and okra is tender, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to platter with steak and serve with any remaining reserved vinaigrette.

GRILLED TOMATO KEBABS

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal grill with coals. Spread them out in one dense layer and brush the grill with oil. Place the cherry tomatoes on skewers, threading them through the stem of the tomato. Brush the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the tomato skewers on the grill, turning once, until seared on the outside but still firm inside, about 5 minutes.

GRILLED SALMON KEBABS WITH KALE TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Whisk the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the salmon chunks, tossing well to coat. Thread the salmon onto 8 skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water first for about 20 minutes.) Oil the grill grates; grill the kebabs, turning, until the fish is opaque, 6 to 8 minutes.
• While the fish cooks, stir together the yogurt, cucumber and remaining lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon); season with salt and pepper. Divide the tabbouleh and salmon kebabs among plates; serve with the yogurt sauce and lemon wedges.
