Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ground sausage | 250g |
| Onion | 1 |
| Garlic | 2 cloves |
| Fresh lemon rind | 1 tsp |
| Lemon juice | 1 tbsp |
| Mixed herbs | 1 tsp |
| Parsley | 1 tbsp |
| Cooked rice | 1/4 cup |
| Tomato paste | 1/4 cup |
| Egg | 1 |
| Mint | 1/4 cup |
| Mint leaf | 2 leaves |
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh lemon rind, lemon juice, mixed herbs, chopped parsley, cooked rice, tomato paste, lightly beaten egg, chopped mint, and torn mint leaves. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
-
Shape Kebabs: Take tablespoonfuls of the mixture and shape them into flat rolls around the ends of 20 soaked wooden skewers. Ensure the mixture holds its shape around the skewers.
-
Refrigerate: Once all the kebabs are shaped, cover them and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the flavors to meld together and the kebabs to firm up.
-
Barbecue: Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium-high heat. Place the kebabs on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned all over and cooked thoroughly. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
-
Prepare Mint Dip: While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the mint dip. In a small saucepan, combine mint jelly and salad dressing. Stir over low heat until the jelly is melted and fully incorporated into the dressing. Stir in freshly chopped mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Serve: Once the kebabs are cooked through and nicely browned, remove them from the grill and serve hot with the mint dip on the side.
