How to prepare
Step 1: Season the Impossible Beef
In a bowl, combine the Impossible Beef, 2 cloves of minced garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon each of thyme, oregano, and basil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until incorporated. Form 16 equally portioned meatballs, and pack tightly. Keep cold until building your skewers for easier handling.
Step 2: Assemble the Skewers
To assemble, alternate Impossible Beef mixture and cherry tomatoes (1 meatball, 2 tomatoes, 1 meatball, 2 tomatoes) on a 6 inch skewer for a total of 8 skewers. Once assembled, store back in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or prepare skewers the night before and chill overnight. It's best to sear them on the grill when they’re very cold!
Step 3: Make the Vinaigrette
Whisk together the remaining 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tsp each of the fresh herbs, dijon, agave, lemon juice and, and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Prepare the Cheese
Cut burrata open and spread loosely over the bottom of a platter. For a fully plant-based version of this recipe, omit the cheese, or substitute with a soft, plant-based cheese of your choice.
Step 5: Grill the Impossible Beef
Set your grill to 375-400°F or medium-high heat, and allow to preheat. Straight from the refrigerator, drizzle some oil over the skewers, and place skewers down on the grill. Cook for about 2.5-3 minutes per side, flipping once during grilling, for a total cooking time of 5-6 mins total. The Impossible Beef will be medium inside.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Move the warm skewers to the serving platter prepared with burrata, and pour the vinaigrette over the skewers. Garnish with freshly torn basil. Enjoy!
