Instructions
KEBAB MIXTURE
Combine the kebab ingredients together and mix with a VERY light hand. Over mixing may cause the meat to toughen.
You are now ready to cook the kebabs.
Feel free to leave this mixture in the fridge for up to 3 days or cook immediately. (MY TIP: avoid adding salt if marinating)
OVEN BAKED INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oven to 375 degrees and prep the oven roasting pan. (MY TIP: I place water on the bottom of the baking tray, then place the rack, and then kebabs over it. It helps with cleaning and keeps the kebabs moist.)
Form the kebabs into the shape of your choice and coat the outside with a generous amount of oil. To give you an idea I make them to be about the size of mini cucumbers. (feel free to make any shape you want)
Place the shaped kebabs on the roasting pan and put the pan into the pre-heated oven.
Cook for about 30 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees). No flipping required.
Remove from the oven and serve hot!
GRILLING INSTRUCTIONS
Form the kebab mixture onto metal skewers THEN coat the outside with a generous amount of oil (if using wooden skewers be sure to soak them in water for 20 minutes before using)
Once the grill is fired up, cook the kebabs until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Once cooked remove from the grill, take the metal skewer off, and serve hot.
PAN ROAST INSTRUCTIONS
Form the kebab mixture to the size and shape of your liking then coat the outside with oil.
Heat a nonstick pan and then place the kebabs on the pan.
Cook for about 12 minutes making sure you roll the kebabs in the pan to cook evenly. Feel free to cover with a lid/dome to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the kebabs.
Serve hot!
Increase or lessen the garlic, ginger, and green chili measurement according to your spice level.
