Grilled Moroccan Chicken Skewers! . So. Much. Flav

Grilled Moroccan Chicken Skewers!
.
So.
Much.
Flavor!
.
Mediterranean food is huge on flavor, but Moroccan cuisine takes it to the next level with its influence of Arab, Berber, Andalusi, and Mediterranean fare. In fact, one of their most common spice blends—ras el hanout—is made up of 27 spices! These delectable grilled Moroccan chicken skewers are rubbed with a more basic and accessible version of this blend, but the flavor is far from stripped down with its savory, spiced, and slightly smoky essence.

Appetizer? All-out meal? How about both.

Tangy quick-pickled onions, sweet corn, creamy avocado, cool cucumbers, and buttery lemon mackerel from @kingoscarseafood 👑
This dish is FRESH—not to mention absolutely effortless. Once you’ve given the red onions a quick bath in some zippy lime juice, it’s just a matter of tossing everything into a bowl and digging right in. And yet, it looks so pretty once plated! Woo your loved ones with this as a starter for a nice summer dinner, or enjoy this nourishing avocado and mackerel salad as a complete meal on its own. (It truly is the perfect lunch.)

I know it’s 80° F out there, but I promised the boys grilled cheese + tomato soup for dinner, so they’re getting grilled cheese + tomato soup.
But this homemade soup is so damn good, I’m not even mad.
