This is an easy, tasty and delicious recipe made using one marinade resulting in three different kind of skewers. This recipe is both easy and quick to make, can easily be made in large amounts without any additional effort and is easy to vary and adapt. Make these hummus bowls for lunch, dinner, summer parties or include them in a buffet.
Summer means lots of fun, festive and delicious dinners and grill parties including both friends and family. But let’s be honest, they can sometimes be very stressful, include lot of preparations and endless planning of different dishes to satisfy everyones food preferences and philosophies. Thats when you have to make these hummus bowls made with three different options to suit both vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetarian food preferences. This dish is both easy and quick to prepare, using hummus as the base and then only adapting what to put on the skewers. The same marinade is used for all three skewers, making it really easy to prepare and no hassle preparing several marinades and seasonings. I served my hummus bowls with feta cheese dip and a mint tzatziki (it can also be made vegan if needed) and gluten free pita bread. The sides, dips and sauces can easily be varied to provide more alternatives (will mention a few ideas below). The best thing is that you can entertain and satisfy a whole party of people with minimal effort and still gather around the same food without anyone having to eat “special options”.
A few tips:
- This dish can be made in the oven or on the grill.
- Cut the chicken into equally sized pieces to ensure the same baking time for all the pieces.
- I used this hummus for my bowls. If you want to make your own you can try this white bean hummus, miso hummus or this classic hummus
- The chicken and vegetables takes the longest time to bake/grill. So start by cooking them. Then add the sweet potato slices and halloumi skewers after about 3-5 minutes.
- Additional ideas on dips, sauces and sides to serve with these hummus bowls: baba ganoush, chimichurri, salsa verde, rhubarb & peach salsa, charred scallion salsa, basil sauce, Pico de Gallo, mint mojo, mango salsa.
