Grilled Chicken and Paneer - Part 2

Check out the previous post on how to marinate. Now that you have the paneer ready, prepare to skewer it before grilling. Chop some onions and peppers into squares. Then carefully skewer a few pieces as in the following pictures.

Finally time to grill! Preheat to about 300F. Put the skewers and chicken on the grill and allow to cook. Serve with some margaritas!

Meatballs

Start with ground beef - lean is good.

Finely chop some onion and mix with the meat in olive oil, salt, pepper, an egg, garlic paste, ginger paste, dried parsley, oregano and basil and grated parmesan cheese. Add some crushed corn flakes or you can use bread crumbs instead.

Mix well and make small balls. Cover with marinara sauce and bake for 30-45mins until fully cooked.

Serve with pasta or make a sandwich!
