Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound ground veal

  • ¼ pound ground pork

  • ¼ cup crushed pineapple, well drained

  • 1 tablespoon chopped green bell pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon paprika

  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

  1. Mix veal, pork, pineapple, bell pepper, salt, and paprika together in a bowl until well combined. Form a portion of the mixture around a short wooden skewer into the shape of a chicken leg. Repeat with remaining meat.

  2. Pour bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs and water together in another shallow bowl.

  3. Roll skewers in bread crumbs, then dip into egg mixture. Roll again in bread crumbs to coat. Place breaded skewers, unstacked, onto a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add skewers and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add a little water and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet tightly and cook until skewers are cooked through, about 45 minutes.
