Instructions

Make kabob mixture

In a food processor, add all the ingredients for the kabob and make a paste
The kabob mixture is kind of thin at this point. Use a sheet of plastic wrap to shape the kabobs as shown in the video.
Leave them in the freezer for about 20 minutes before cooking.
Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the sauce and set it aside.

Cook Kabobs

Now, in a pan, add oil and butter and let them melt over medium heat.
Once the kabobs are slightly solid, you can start cooking them over medium-low heat, gently turning them around every few minutes. It’ll take about 10-12 minutes to cook the kabobs.
Once all of the kabobs are cooked, add them back to the pan and add creamy sauce.
Mix them around gently to coat them in the sauce.
Cook for 4-5 in total or until sauce thickens.
Garnish and enjoy.

Notes

Don’t crowd the pan; fry kabobs in batches.
