Oriental Minced Meat Skewers

Method

1. In a bowl, combine the minced beef, grated garlic, lime juice and zest, chopped parsley, chopped red chili peppers, and salt. Mix well with your hands until sticky.
2. If using spring onions (cipollotti), take a spring onion and wrap the meat mixture around it, pressing firmly to adhere. Repeat with remaining spring onions or lemongrass stalks.
3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the broccoli into florets and blanch briefly. Drain, reserving some cooking water.
4. For the sauce: in a pan, melt some clarified butter. Add the chopped red onion and diced apple. Cook for a few minutes, then add curry powder and toast.
5. Add a splash of the reserved broccoli water and the cream (or yogurt). Stir and cook for a few minutes. Blend until smooth.
6. In a large pan, heat clarified butter. Place the skewers in the pan, pressing them lightly. Cook until golden brown on all sides.
7. Add the blanched broccoli to the pan with the skewers. Drizzle with soy sauce and toss to combine.
8. Serve the skewers and broccoli with the curry-apple sauce. Garnish with chopped green and red chili peppers. Optionally, serve with cooked spelt or rice.
