Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the carrot.
- Grate the zucchini.
- Finely chop the scallions.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Peel and cube the potatoes.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the cubed potatoes, and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and let them cool down.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated carrot, grated zucchini, finely chopped scallions, minced garlic, grated ginger root, egg, and finely chopped almonds.
- Add 1/3 cup of Massaman curry paste to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Form the beef mixture into oblong meatballs around wooden or metal skewers. Ensure they are compact and well-shaped to stay on the skewers.
- Brush the skewers lightly with peanut oil.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and has a nice char.
- In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, lemon juice, fish sauce, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and finely chopped peanuts.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and becomes fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
- Thread the blanched potato cubes onto separate skewers.
- Brush them lightly with peanut oil.
- Grill the potato skewers for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and fully cooked.
- Transfer the cooked beef skewers to a serving platter.
- Drizzle the prepared Massaman sauce over the skewers or serve it on the side for dipping.
- If made, add the grilled potato skewers to the platter.
- Garnish the dish with extra chopped peanuts, fresh lime wedges, or additional chopped scallions for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Grate the vegetables finely to ensure they mix well with the ground beef.
- To make the skewers uniform in size and cook evenly, use a kitchen scale to measure the beef mixture for each skewer.
- Chill the beef mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before forming the skewers; this makes it easier to handle.
- Brush the skewers with a bit of peanut oil before grilling to prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook these skewers on a grill pan or under the broiler in your oven.
These Massaman beef skewers are sure to be a hit at any gathering. The blend of spices and fresh ingredients, combined with the smoky flavor from the grill, creates a dish that is both hearty and delicious. Serve these skewers with a side of jasmine rice or a fresh salad to complete the meal. Enjoy the rich and aromatic flavors that these skewers bring to your table!
