This colorful appetizer would also make a great main dish-just double the recipe so each person gets two skewers. If you have vegetarian diners, you can build some of the skewers without meatballs. Ingredients:
fresh zaatar rub |
1/2 pound ground lamb or beef |
about 4 oz. halloumi cheese (buy extra in case some splits when skewered), cut into 6 cubes |
1/2 pound mixed baby squash (pattypan and zucchini) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Soak 12 (10-in.) bamboo skewers in water about 30 minutes. Heat grill to medium (about 350°).
2. Combine half of the rub with lamb in a bowl and shape into 12 balls. Brush cheese and squash with oil, then coat with remaining rub. Thread meatballs, cheese, and squash onto 6 double sets of skewers, holding skewers slightly apart and alternating ingredients.
3. Grill, turning once, until meat is medium-rare, 7 to 8 minutes total.
