PARTY SKEWERS

Grilled meat skewers is nice food both in the summer and in the winter. I have a friend who is so obsessed with barbecue that she does it even in the coldest and darkest nights of winter, using a head light and looking like a maniac! She's wonderful! ("Mamma Mia", if you ever read this - I love you!)

4 servings

1 to 1 1/3 lbs boneless beef, e.g.

fillet or roast beef
16 middle-sized mushrooms
4 slices bacon
1 large red onion

Marinade:

1/3 cup chopped spring onions or leek
1 crushed garlic clove
4 tablespoons Chinese soy sauce
3 tablespoons oil
1/3 cup meat bouillon
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
cayenne

Cut the meat in even-sized cubes and put them in a dish. Blend together the ingredients for the marinade and pour it over the meat. Add half of the mushrooms. Cover the pan and marinate meat and mushrooms in the fridge for about 3 hours, or preferably overnight.

Cut the bacon in half and wrap a piece of bacon around each remaining mushroom. Peel the onion and cut it in wedges. If need be, you can boil the wedges in some water for a few minutes until tender. Drain well.

Alternate meat, mushrooms and onion on skewers, which you put in a roasting pan or an oven-proof dish. Brush with the marinade and grill the skewers rather large up in the oven for 4 to 8 minutes. Turn them occasionally and brush with the marinade.

Serve with e.g. rice pilav, broccoli and a green salad with cherry tomatoes.

Enjoy!
