Minced beef kebabs with sour cream sauce.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! I know it has been a while but I am back now ;). I hope we are all having a wonderful week. I am here to share another lovely recipe, minced beef kebabs with sour cream sauce!

So lets get into it and start with the ingredients for the kebabs, you will need the following :

• 300 - 400 g of minced beef ( enough for about 7-10 sticks)
• One green onions ( about a tablespoon finely chopped)
• Half of a small onion (finely chopped)
• One big clove of garlic or two small cloves (finely chopped)
• One beef bouillon 
• Half a teaspoon of salt
• Half a teaspoon of curry powder
• Half a teaspoon of dry thyme
• One teaspoon of dry pepper
• Half a teaspoon of black pepper
• Quarter teaspoon of dry ginger 
• Quarter teaspoon of smoked paprika
• Quarter teaspoon of dry coriander
• Skewers

STEPS

Put your minced beef in a bowl and add everything listed above to it. Use your hands and mix everything up, make sure all the spices and veggies have been absolutely incorporated! Notice I said finely chopped for all the veggies, that's because if they are not finely chopped, it will cause you meat to break off on the skewers. You will have something like this

You can leave the mixture to marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour and then its ready to get on the skewers! If you have an ice cream scoop at home, you can use it to scoop up the meat or you can use your hand. Before you scoop up the meat, dab your hands in some vegetable oil or coat the ice cream scoop with some oil, scoop up the meat and make it into a ball. The scooped up meat should be the size of an ice cream scoop since we are using these skewers, but if you are using the long iron skewers you can put in a lot more. Gently but firmly press the ball of meat around the skewer and start pressing it down in a pulsating manner using your fingers, till the meat is spread along the skewer evenly. When you are done you will have something this

Heat up your grill pan or oven and simply grill them till they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked! That's it for the kebabs, now lets move on to the sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

• Two tablespoons of sour cream ( you can also use plain yogurt)
• One teaspoon of soy sauce
• One teaspoon of ketchup
• A dash of garlic powder
• A dash of dry red pepper
• Chopped dills and parsley (about a teaspoon)

Add up everything in a small bowl and whisk away! that's it for the sauce,simple and easy!

Garnish with some fresh parsley and dills. I do hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy!
