Asparagus-Potato-Oats Kababs

Asparagus season is here!! And I love the beautiful slender tender stems to brighten up pastas, soups and also grilled with little olive oil, salt and pepper.

Couple years ago..I had made these 'Asparagus-Chicken Kababs' and they were super flavorful and made a classy appetizer!! They reminded me of 'Shish kababs'....ground chicken with spices...grilled on skewers.
Here the Asparagus makes an edible skewer!!
