Cooks watching the demonstration
Traffic Light Kebabs
Please note these are estimates and will vary with seasons and preferences in
your group. Also, the lists are not exhaustive - try other fruit and vegetables
out and see how they work. Choose fruits and vegetables that are in season where
possible as these will be when they are at their tastiest and probably will also
be the best value for money.
Ingredients:
- Red
- 1 red pepper
- 1 punnet strawberries
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes - halved
- Orange
- 2 oranges/satsumas segmented
- 1 punnet physalis/cape gooseberries
- 1 orange pepper
- ½ pineapple fresh or tinned in juice
- 1 tin apricot halves in juice
- Green
- 1 cucumber
- 1 apple cut into 1 inch/2cm chunks (to avoid browning toss the apple chunks in
lemon juice if not to be used immediately)
- 1 green pepper
- Cocktail sticks/wooden kebab skewers
Safety Note:
Children must be supervised closely at all times when holding
sticks and may need assistance to thread on the fruits and vegetables.
Method:
Chop fruit and vegetables into 2cm/1inch chunks
Put each different food into its own container and then group the colours
together
Allow the children to choose 2 options from each of the colour groups and then
thread them on to one kebab skewer or 2 cocktail sticks in the red, amber, green
order
If children are reluctant to choose from one or more of the colour groups
encourage them as much as possible by allowing them to smell, touch and taste
the different choices.
