Next time try a single skewer of each on their own and put them on the grill in stages based on the item-you will be much happier and your food will be ALL perfectly cooked!

Additionally try to leave a little space between the items and do not smush all the pieces together, this also helps.

Hope the advice helps.....not meant to be negative towards your efforts.

FYI, those are not tomatoes. Those are red peppers. Who puts tomatoes on a kebab?

Otherwise, this is spot on advice. I think I learned this from Alton Brown a while ago, or maybe Cook's Illustrated?
