Yields1 Serving
Kebabs
 1 kg./2lb. 2 oz. extra lean ground beef

Kebabs
1

Place the onions and herbs in a food processor and process until very finely chopped. Put the minced beef in a mixing bowl, add the chopped onions and herbs, all the spices and sea salt to taste. Mix with your hands until evenly blended.

2

Divide the meat into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and wrap it tightly around a skewer, squeezing it up and down, to form a sausage about 10-15 cm./4-6 inches long. Pinch it quite thin at each end.

3

Cook the brochette over a preheated hot grill for 3-4 min. on each side, or until they are done to your liking. Serve immediately.

Gourmet Safari Rating Scales

Kitchen Confidence Rating Scale:

We’ve designed a handy ‘from the heart’ kitchen confidence rating scale for you to guide you through the recipes (yep, we think of everything)!
= Everyday deliciously simple. Pretty quick, just get the food on the table pronto!
= Put your heart into it! Takes a little more time ‘n TLC!
= Go the extra mile! Gourmet – takes time and/or special ingredients and/or technique – worth the extra effort for the impressive WOW factor!
= You walk on water! You must be a Chef!

Budget Rating Scale:

We’ve designed a handy budget rating scale for you to guide you (and your wallet) through the recipes. Recipes are graded from the ‘high-end caviar-type budget’ to the ‘lower-end spam canned meat type-budget’.
= Spam (aka low budget)
= Mac ‘n Cheese (aka mid budget)
= Filet Mignon (aka higher budget)
= Caviar (aka expensive…but you’re worth it!)
