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.
