Preparation
1
Cook the rice: In the sink, place the brown rice in a strainer and rinse it well. In a pot, add the brown rice, water (1 1/3 cup, 2 2/3 cup), salt (1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp) and stir. Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce the heat to medium/low, cover and cook 25 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside. When the rice is cooked, add the hawaiian pineapple marinade (2 tbsp, 1/4 cup) and lightly fluff the rice with a fork to ensure the sauce is combined.
Note: If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least 10 minutes.
2
Prepare the vegetables: Wash and rinse all produce. While the rice is cooking, slice the zucchini in 1 cm slices, dice the red onion in half and then each halves in 6. Dice the bell pepper in 4 cm dices and cut the mushroom in quarters.
3
Assemble the kabobs: Turn on the BBQ to 400F. Assemble the skewer, alternating the vegetables. Lightly brush the kabobs with oil (1/2 tsp, 1 tsp).
Note: If you want, you can add your pineapple to the skewers. If so you may need 3 skewers per serving. This option is recommended if you are cooking the kabobs on the BBQ and do not have a vegetable tray.
Note: If you don’t have a BBQ, you can bake the kabobs in a 400F oven for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked but still crunchy.
4
Cook the kabobs: Place the kabobs on the BBQ and cook about 5 minutes to side. Brush the kabobs with the hawaiian pineapple marinade 3-4 times while they are cooking.
5
Serve: On individual plates, serve the kabobs with the spiced rice.
