Cumin and cinnamon flavor these healthy, oven grilled Baharat Chicken Skewers with pomegranate relish. These low carb wonders need only minutes to assemble for a weeknight or weekend meal!A few years ago, one of my New Year's resolutions was to get better about using up leftovers.

So, after  making the Fig and Pistachio crackers, I still had pistachios. Now I know those might not really qualify as "leftovers" since I could freeze them ( and leaving them around to snack on is just too tempting!) but the freezer is nearing capacity - so I decided to make this - Baharat Chicken Skewers. I saw the recipe in Bon Appetit a while back  and bookmarked it to try. This is definitely "my kind of dish" - I love the subtle and fresh flavors and the fact that with some simple sides I've got an easy dinner. Leftovers are a plus since it makes a great lunch the next day. The ingredients and instructions look lengthy but don't let it fool you - this is simple and easy dish to put together and makes a great weeknight or casual get together meal.

    We really need to cook (and eat) together someday. Can we start with this dish because it looks really good? I love the freshness of that pomegranate relish.

    I admit that I'm newer to user pomegranate and also admit the reason why is that I can buy a container of them ready to eat; one of my few 'prepared' foods!

    This has me putting them on the list...I bet they are terrific with pistachios; it's a beautiful dish to boot!
