Comments
This recipe is from food.com. When Lance and I were in Norway, he introduced me to kebabs. I imagine that these are the equivalent of Americanized Chinese food in the US and not traditional at all. I loved them and I’ve been thinking about figuring out how to duplicate them ever since.
I hunted around a bit and found some promising (recipes. In Lance’s opinion, this recipe nailed the meat component of the kebabs. The meat was very tasty and extremely flavorful. We all enjoyed these! The sauces for the first attempt were off, but I have better (recipes to try for next time.
The recipe can be made with all ground beef, or lamb, or your desired mixture of meats.
(This photo was taken with my first attempt at the sauces, the sauces linked above are much thinner in consistency so won’t look like this picture.)
