Preparation
|
|
Mix beef with garlic, coriander, 1 tsp (5 mL) pepper and ½ tsp (2 mL) salt. Using dampened hands, form into 8 cylinders, about 1-¼ inches (3 cm) in diameter.
Slide skewers lengthwise into kabobs almost all the way through. Place on greased baking sheet; broil, turning once, until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes. Or grill skewers over medium heat. Tent with foil; let stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in bowl, mix together yogurt, chives, lemon juice and pinch salt. Drizzle with 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil. Serve with kabobs.
Makes 4 servings.
