Wash produce before use
1
Make and cook the skewers
- Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure ½ cup [1 cup].
- Cut a small corner from the protein packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the onion, protein, raisins, and Greek spice blend. Season generously with salt and pepper and mix gently until just combined. Using wet hands, form the mixture into 6 [12] ovals, each about ¾ inch thick; thread each onto a wooden skewer.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the skewers and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, prepare the salad.

Make the arugula-pear salad

In a large bowl, toss together the arugula, pear, hazelnuts, lemon juice, and 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
