middle eastern meat skewers:

4 slices bread, crusts removed
2 lbs ground meat
1 egg
2 egg whites
2 1/2 T. shwarma spice (pereg)
2 t. cumin
3/4 c. techina

pita
veggies
techina

preheat oven to 400. place bread in a med bowl and cover with water. Soak for 10 mins. Drain well
combine meat, egg, egg whites, spices, techina, and drained bread.
wet your hands to prevent the meat mixture from sticking to them and form small balls. you should get abt 50 balls
thread 5 balls onto each skewer and place skewers on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 mins and then broil for an additional 8 mins
serve w/ pita, veggies, and more techina
