These skewers, seasoned with paprika and pepper, are savory enough that they don’t need a dipping sauce. A perfect introduction to rich and tender veal, these skewers really showcase the power of a good marinade. The green onion, red wine and paprika marry will with the fresh garlic for a great balance of earthy, tart, vegetal and a little kick. Use a high quality Hungarian paprika to get the richest flavor. Paprika branded HOT will yield a spicier finish, while SWEET paprika will be milder and better suited for a larger group. Serve these skewers over a some quinoa and wilted green such as Swiss chard for a full plate or top a bowl of mixed lettuces, tomato, radish and sweet pepper strips for a main-dish salad. This marinade also works well with flank steak or hanger steak.
