Low carb, low fat, low sodium. Wonderful taste, and easy preparation. The photo was very helpful, I've seen the recipe before but was never sure how the skewer looked with the meat on it. I suppose I thought they were round like a meatball. Thank you for this recipe, Kendrajean

We liked these -- quick to put together and lots of flavour. They were pretty too with the green of the coriander. I did mine under the oven grill, for about 5 minutes. Served with potato wedges and a salad.
