Meet the Cook: I still remember the first time I served these colorful kabobs - my family was thrilled to find a surprise in the tasty meatballs. Since I make them often, I sometimes substitute different vegetables or cheeses for variety. -Kristen Wondra, Hudson, Kansas Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey |
3 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion |
2 tablespoons apple juice |
dash cayenne pepper |
1 egg |
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
pepper to taste |
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
1 block (1-1/2 ounces) monterey jack cheese, cut into 12 cubes |
12 small mushrooms, stems removed |
1 medium green pepper, cut into pieces |
1 medium sweet yellow or red pepper, cut into pieces |
1 medium onion, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine the first five ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until onion is tender and sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Add beef and mix well. Divide into 12 portions. Place a cube of cheese in each mushroom cap; shape each meat portions round a mushroom.
3. On six metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternate meatballs, peppers and onion wedges. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side.
4. Grill 10-12 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear, turning occasionally. Brush with reserved glaze during the last 2 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.
