Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 lb goat meat or beef cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 5 fresh ripe plum tomatoes, crushed
  • 1/2 small can of tomato puree
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 bouillon cube Maggi
  • 6 pili-pili chilies use any hot chili you like
  • Vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes.
  • Form the brochettes by alternately threading meat and 2 to 3 pieces of onion onto the skewer.
  • Mix the crushed tomatoes, the diced onions and the pili-pili chilies (pounded to a paste) along with the tomato puree. This should create a medium thick sauce; add a little oil and water to attain the desired consistency.
  • Reserve half of the sauce for dipping.
  • Put half the sauce in a pan with the skewers and turn to coat, let marinade for 30 minutes.
  • Then lay the skewer on the grill Brush the sauce on all sides of the brochettes, adding more of the sauce as you turn them. Turn them about 3 times. Allow it to cook for about 3 minutes. The brochettes are ready when just cooked through (about 8-10 minutes) and should be a nice reddish color, due to the sauce.
  • Serve with sweet potato fries and use the reserved sauce for dipping.
