Adobo Meatball Skewers

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

4 tablespoon adobo spice mix

1 egg

3 tablespoons tamari sauce

3 tablespoons breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp (5 mL) red chili flakes 

Salt to taste if desired - the tamari sauce has salt that should be enough for most of us

8 10-inch bamboo skewers

Cilantro - chopped for garnish

Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes for serving

Directions

Soak bamboo skewers for about an hour. This will prevent it from burning on the grill.

In mixing bowl, thoroughly combine beef, adobo spice mix, tamari sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, pepper flakes and salt if using. 

Pre-heat grill to medium-high.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the ground beef mixture. Shape into a ball and thread unto bamboo skewers. Wet hands with cold water to help hands from getting sticky. 

Grill over medium-high for 10-12 minutes.

Turn kebabs occasionally to brown uniformly. When cooked (with no hint of pink), twist and pull meat from skewers.

Garnish with cilantro.



Serve with cucumbers and tomatoes.
