Kebabwiches

Day 1, Week 11

I mentioned before that I don’t eat processed foods, well frequently anyways… So I don’t really like the idea of giving the kids hotdogs, although I do give it to them on occasion. I needed to find a substitute and came up with easy kebabs! The 4 year old LOVED it!

Ingredients:
ground chicken (or other meat)
lemon pepper seasoning

paprika
chopped spinach
cilantro
bread crumbs
1 egg

Guidelines:

In a mixing bowl, combine the meat with an egg and the bread crumbs (1 cup of crumbs to 1 lb of meat)

Add in the chopped spinach and cilantro, mix well
Add in the paprika, lemon pepper seasoning, salt and pepper to taste
Roll the mixture into hotdog-like shapes
In a saucepan on medium heat, add some oil and once hot, cook the kebabs until golden-brown
Remove kebabs and bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes or until the meat is completely cooked
Add to hotdog buns and serve with steamed veggies

I like how you got that spinach in there – good work!

Thoughts from shaz

thanks Mona… I actually firmly believe that spinach can be added to any dish!

Thoughts from Kai

WOW!  What a fabulous idea – they look delicious!

You know, I might just make those for dinner tonight.  It’s Saturday and I don’t feel like doing too much in the kitchen, and I think that’s the perfect idea!

Thanks for sharing – very clever!

This sounds interesting and looks delish. Can any meat be substituted. Think i may use broccoli instead. My 4 year old loves broccoli in any dish. His favorite is steamed broccoli with a little bit of grated cheese on top.
Thanks for this dish though. I like your others also as well.
