Method
- In a large bowl, mix the sausagemeat, breadcrumbs and finely chopped red onion. Season well. Divide into 10 equal amounts and, with lightly floured hands, shape into small meatballs. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, soak 6 wooden skewers in warm water for 10-15 minutes (or use metal skewers). Heat the grill to medium. Thread the meatballs onto the skewers, alternating with the semi-dried tomatoes and onion wedges, then brush with a little tomato oil. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until cooked through.
- Toss the lettuce with the spinach and drizzle with a dressing of your choice. Serve with the skewers.
