Ingredients

Ingredients

3 lbs. veal
3 lbs. lean pork
6 cloves garlic
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cups breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. curry powder
Salt
Pepper
2 eggs
Oil
2 md. onions, chopped
1 tbsp. butter, softened

Instructions

Cut veal and pork into 1-inch cubes and place cubes in a large bowl. Chop garlic. In a small bowl, mix garlic water, wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour over meat cubes and stir. Marinate meat cubes for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to allow flavours to blend.

Leaving about 2 inches at the bottom of each skewer, arrange pork and veal cubes alternately on wooden skewers. Squeeze cubes together. Continue to add meat until all the meat is used. You should fill 12 skewers.

In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, curry powder, salt, and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, beat eggs. Dip skewered meat cubes in breadcrumbs. Coat with egg, then dip in crumbs again.

In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of cooking oil. Fry skewers of meat cubes, a few at a time, until meat is lightly browned. Combine onions and butter and spread in a large shallow baking dish. Place meat sticks on onions and bake in 275°F oven for about 45 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.

Old-country meat dishes may seem like a lot of work, but the results make the work worthwhile.
