This one sounds easy enough for me. Simple recipes often tastes the best! Thanks Would it be ok if I added some veggies on the skewers? Or should I just make vegetable side dishes to go with this? I'll probablly cook some rice.

You taught me a word: Skewers...

Thanks for that!!

My advise would not to put veggies on the skewers unless you cook them first. 4 to 5 min in the oven will not be enough to cook them...

Side veggies are good, what you can also organise is a fried rice:

Ingredients:
Very small prawns, chopped omelette, green peas and chopped ham

Steem cook rice.

In a wok (if you know what that is: chinese pan), put strong fire, 2soup spoons of vegetable oil. Once oil is real warm, put the rice in the wok, cook it stirring well. put all the above ingredients in the rice, cook well, stir regularly. Let fry for 10 minutes still stirring. You can add some curry powder if you like.

THis is really good with brochettes!!
