Ukrainian Patychky Meat On A Stick - veal

Method

• 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.
• Gently squeeze sticks with hands to make breadcrumbs flat and sticks more rounded.
• 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 top of onions.
• Bake in a 275 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.
