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.

Instructions:
    1. Heat grill to medium-high heat or broiler to high. Mix all ingredients in medium bowl until well blended. Using wet hands, shape mixture into 2-inch balls, then roll them into a sausage shape; press around flat bamboo skewers.
    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).
