Ingredients

1/2 poundLean Ground Beef
1/2 cupFresh Parsley or Cilantro, finely chopped
1 cloveGarlic
1 tbspGaram Masala (or use your favourite spice)
1 tsp Olive Oil1/2 tsp Sea Salt (optional)
2-3 cupsMixed Vegetables (choose your favourite like eggplant, peppers, onion, zucchini, mushrooms etc.) cut into large pieces.
1 eachLemon
2 tbspOlive Oil
2 tspDried Oregano

Directions

  1. In a bowl, add your ground beef, herbs, garlic, olive oil, garam masala and salt. Mix well and roll into small golf ball sized rounds. Set in the fridge.
  2. Mix olive oil, lemon juice and dried oregano together in a small bowl, set aside.
  3. Skewer your vegetables onto metal or wood skewers, alternating with a couple of the meatballs. Form and press the meatball on the skewer will help it to stick better.
  4. Set one side of your bbq to high, and the other to low. Cook these over the low side with the lid closed, until the beef is cooked all the way through (about 6 to 8 minutes). Turn them as you need so that you don’t overcook any one side.
  5. Brush your lemon oregano dressing over the skewers right before you take them off the grill. Serve, on its own or with some seasoned yogurt in a pita.

Nutrition

  • ​Fire up the BBQ! Enjoy tasty recipes on the grill this summer, but be sure to practice food safety to reduce the risk of foodborne illness and to lower the amount of harmful carcinogens that can form from barbecuing.
  • Grill leaner proteins like fish, chicken, turkey or vegetarian options more often. Have red meat and processed meats less often. Barbecuing animal products like red meat can create cancer-causing chemicals that form when the fat from meat drips onto hot coals or flames.
