Apple cider vinegar Lime

Skew protein onto skewers—if you’re using plant protein, it should already be in pieces. You can also baste skewers while cooking! Do not do this if using animal protein. Cook skewers over the BBQ (recommended) or in a large pan on the stove.
Serve with chopped cucumbers to dip in peanut sauce or with jasmine rice. Garnish with lime and cilantro. Enjoy!
