Nonna Maria's Tips

Italian meat skewers are a simple mix of meats, olive oil, herbs, and peppers cooked hot for browning and juiciness.

  • Keep the mixed-meat structure, especially sausage, veal, and pork or chicken, because Italian skewers are typically a butcher-style assortment rather than a single meat.

  • Retain extra virgin olive oil, peppers, and sage as the flavor spine.

Avoid

  • ⚠

    Calling the air fryer version the traditional method

  • ⚠

    Using one marinade that tastes more American than Italian
