INSTRUCTIONS:
- You are going either for the grill or the grill pan, operate it empty at normal heat t ~205 degrees C.
- Include egg, beef, almond flour, pepper(black & powdered), powdered onion, garlic, & salt.
- Mix them so that every item incorporates well with the other.
- Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions.
- Make each part into a ball, which should be ~1.5 inches in diameter.
- Now, assemble all the skewers one by one with the undermentioned sequence:
- A meatball, a slice of bacon, a cheese cube, a pickle slice, & tomato/red bell pepper/red onion slice.
- Repeat the above-mentioned sequence according to the length of the skewers.
- When all the skewers are ready, place them on the grill(preheated) for ~twelve mins.
- Rotate them gradually till they become tender & crispy.
- Place the cheese slices right before the grilling time finishes.
- The cheese will melt on hot chicken skewers, but it won’t fall.
- Immediately dish them out as the cheese starts to melt.
- As they cool down a bit, serve them with your favorite keto sauce.
TIPS:
- Given that wood does not transmit heat, it’s better to use the metal skewers. They deliver heat thoroughly to cook everything till inside.
- You can store the assembled skewers few hours before grilling & you will be saved from the assembling mess at the time of grilling.
- It will be best to leave the small gaps between the items while assembling the skewers to have even circulation of heat.
STORAGE DETAILS:
REFRIGERATION:
- Arrange the leftover kebabs in a single layer in a tray. If there are more kebabs, then arrange them after placing the paper(baking/parchment). Enjoy them for ~4 days while keeping them chill in the refrigerator.
FREEZING:
- You can arrange the raw & assembled skewers as well as cooked & cooled leftover skewers on a tray. Put this tray in the freezer. Once the individual skewers are frozen, transfer them to the bag(freezer-safe). This is the flash-freezing technique that keeps the food safe for ~sixty days.
- You may defrost, reheat/cook, & enjoy whenever you want.
FAQs:
Which alternatives are available for cheese cubes?
- We have used the cheddar cubes, but you may go for Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, mozzarella, etc.
May we use any other cooking option then grilling?
- Sure! An oven set to 200 degrees Celsius is suitable to bake the skewers for ~eighteen mins. You need to give them a turn, as half of the time has passed.
What ingredients can I add to my kebabs to make them spicy?
- You may use jalapeno slices in the skewers or go for the addition of extra chilli flakes.
