These mock chicken legs are made with veal and pork, spiced perfectly, then browned and simmered.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground veal
- ¼ pound ground pork
- ¼ cup crushed pineapple, well drained
- 1 tablespoon chopped green bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
Directions
Step 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.
Step 2
Pour bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs and water together in another shallow bowl.
Step 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.
Step 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.
