How to cook deliciously - Grilled Skewered Meatballs

1. Stage

Season the meat: In a medium bowl, combine the baking soda and lemon juice. Add the meat to the bowl and mix with your hands. In a small bowl, combine the salt, oregano, dill, pepper, and cinnamon. Add the seasonings to the bowl with the meat, along with the garlic, egg, and panko. Mix thoroughly with your hands.

2. Stage

Form the meatballs: Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal balls, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on a sheet pan, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Stage

Prepare the grill: Prepare the grill for direct medium heat, 375 to 425°F.

4. Stage

Skewer the meatballs: Using flat grilling skewers, hold a meatball in the palm of your hand while inserting the skewer through the center. Load each skewer with 3 meatballs, being sure to leave space between. With a basting brush, lightly brush both sides of the meatballs skewers with the olive oil.

5. Stage

Grill the meatballs: With a grill brush, brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the meatball skewers over direct heat with the lid closed as much as possible, flipping once, until their internal temperature reaches 155ºF with an instant-read thermometer (about 8 to 14 minutes).

6. Stage

Serve the meatballs: Remove the meatballs from the skewers, garnish with the parsley, and serve. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
