15 items

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the liquid.

2. Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, allspice, and nutmeg to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should have approximately 30 meatballs.

4. Thread the meatballs onto the soaked wooden skewers, placing 3 meatballs per skewer. Leave some space between each meatball to ensure even cooking.

5. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat and lightly oil the grates with olive oil.

6. Place the meatball skewers on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are browned and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

7. Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

8. Optional: If desired, prepare a dipping sauce by combining lingonberry jam and sour cream. Serve the kebabs warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
