  • 1/4 cup AllWhites® egg whites
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  2. Cook kabobs on grill or under broiler for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center (internal temperature should be 165°F).

Tips & Substitutions:

Serve with warm pita bread and a creamy sauce of plain Greek yogurt mixed with a shake of garlic salt, chopped fresh cucumber and mint, and a bit of grated lemon peel.

Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of sweet spices that are often used in Middle Eastern meat dishes: cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. If you’d prefer to use separate spices, substitute ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and ginger, plus ¼ teaspoon ground cumin.
