Meat Skewered Meat

Hello! Today I bring you a request from a member of Neopets Nation.

Brianna Burgess asked me to make Meat Skewered Meat - What is better than skewered meat? Why, meat skewered meat, of course!

This is a very interesting dish to prepare on a freaky lunch or dinner with weird friends 😁

If you ever want to give this a try, here's what you'll need (ingredients for one portion):

- 1 chicken leg (drumstick + thigh)

- 5 bite-size pieces of meat (I used beef)

- 2 bite-size pieces of sausage (I used canned sausage, also known in the USA as hotdog)

- 4 bite-size pieces of sweet pickled japanese yellow radish (if you can't find this, just use something according to your taste that you can use on a skewer, baked potato, cooked chestnuts...)

- 2 skewers

- Bit of oil

- Salt

Start by seasoning the chicken leg with a bit of salt on both sides, then heat a bit of oil in a frying pan and add in the chicken leg, skin side down. Cook for about 2 minutes on high heat and then turn the heat to low and let the meat cook for about 10 minutes. After that time, turn the chicken leg and do the same on the other side, 2 minutes on high heat and then 10 minutes on low. Pierce the thickest part of the meat with a skewer and press a little bit to make the juices comes out. If they come out clear the meat is cooked. Remove from the heat and allow to rest. Now season the meat of choice with salt.

If the frying pan you used is not very dirty with burnt pieces you can use it for the next step, if you think you should clean it first or use a clean frying pan, by all means, do that. Add a bit of oil in it and cook the pieces of meat on medium heat, for about 10 minutes or so. If the sausage of your choice needs to be cooked, you can do it at the same time and in the same frying pan. Mine didn't so I just used them cold out of the can :P Same trick here for the meat, when you pierce it with a skewer if the juices come out clear the meat is cooked. Turn off the heat and allow the meat to rest. In the meanwhile get your 4 bite-size pieces of yellow radish. Now lets assemble: get one skewer and stick in it a piece of radish and two pieces of meat, then pierce the left side of the chicken thigh (skin facing you) from one side to the other (lengthwise) and stick at the end of this skewer a piece of sausage, a piece of meat and a piece of radish. Now grab the other skewer and stick in it a piece of meat, a piece of radish and another piece of meat, pierce the right side of the chicken thigh (skin facing you) again from one side to the other (lengthwise) and at the end of this skewer add a piece of sausage and finish with a piece of radish. Serve and enjoy!

The food will be rated from 1 to 5 stars, meaning:

⭐ - This could be part of gross foods! Ugh :(

⭐⭐ - Waste of ingredients but edible...

⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!

Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Meat Skewered Meat -  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - This is one of my favourite ways of enjoying chicken meat, only cooked with a bit of salt. I absolutely love it so no wonder I rated this with 5 stars. It is also one of my favourite ways to eat beef. The sausage is almost none so it's not enough to lower this dish to a 4 stars. And the pickled radish is just the right amount to make this a perfect combo of sweet and salty, to cut a bit down the grease from the chicken skin. I really liked this dish :D
