When the sun comes out, we all go a bit barbeque crazy and food really does taste better al fresco!

If you are planning a barbeque and are bored of burgers then these skewers are for you.  They are mildly spiced but not overwhelming and are really tender.  They are a kind of “burger lolly” for want of a better description.  I was introduced to them at a family barbeque and I have to say they are now a firm favourite

They are easy to make and even easier to eat!  To make them you will need the following (serves 8):

  • 2x 500g packs of lean minced beef
  • 8 Spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 3 tbsps jerk seasoning
  • pinch of Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil spray for cooking
  • 24 bamboo skewers (soaked in water overnight)

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well by hand to ensure everything is combined
  • Shape large tablespoonful around one of the skewers and form an oval shape around 5cm long.
  • Repeat with the rest of the mixture to make 24 skewers
  • Spray the beef with olive oil and cook on the barbeque for 12- 15 minutes turning occasionally until they are cooked through and brown in colour
  • Cover the skewers with foil if they start to burn

If it starts to rain, you can always cook these under the grill
