Preparation
Cook the rice
- Heat the BBQ on high (or pan on medium-high), making sure to oil the grill first.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 3 cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, place the skewers in a shallow bowl; cover with water.
- Grate ½ the carrots; halve the remaining ½ lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.
- Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
Prepare the skewers
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, panko, grated carrots, ¾ of the spices and S&P.
- Form into 8 long oval-shaped pieces.
- Drain the skewers and thread each one with the beef; drizzle with oil.
Grill the skewers
- Add the skewers* to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, turning often, 6 to 10 min., until cooked through.
- Brush with the chili sauce.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, in a second large bowl, combine the cucumbers, vinegar, remaining carrots and spices, 3 tbsp oil and S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice, salad and skewers between your plates. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
