Notes

Add some other veggies like mushrooms or bell onion to the kebab for more of a veggie-filled meal.

You could also use other types of ready made dough to make the kebabs and cut it into wide strips and insert the dough onto the kebab around the meatballs.

To serve as finger food, use wooden skewers and make smaller kebabs with 1 meatball, 1 piece of pepper and 2-3 pieces of dough.
