| 1. Make the meatballs. Pour all ingredients into a large bowl & mix well. Form into 16 small balls as firmly as possible. Place on plate & flatten slightly. Cover & chill at least 30 minutes. The meatballs will be soft so chilling or even flash freezing is important. | 2. Make the Creme. In small bowl mash the avocado. Add remaining ingredients & stir. Chill until later. | 3. Preheat indoor contact grill. | 4. Assemble the skewers. The vegetables should be similar in size to the meatballs to ensure even cooking. Alternate 2 sections of zucchini, 2 peppers, 2 red onion sections and 4 meatballs onto each of four skewers. Use the curves of the vegetables to "cup" the meatballs to help hold in place. Pack the skewers tightly. | 5. Spray the grill top & bottom liberally with cooking spray. Place skewers on grill & shut lid. Set timer for 7 minutes. | 6. Use spatula to gently flip skewers over & rearrange position on grill from front to back. Cook for an additional 4 minutes or longer depending on your grill. The veggies should be soft & the meatballs browned. | 7. Serve hot with the avocado & cilantro sauce to drizzle on top. | 8. The skewers would be good served on top of rice or even in tortillas. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
