Meat Mixture

Skewers

Method

Prepare the Meat Mixture

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, finely chopped onion, fresh parsley, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Form into Shapes

    Drizzle the olive oil over the meat mixture. Using your hands, mix in the oil and then divide the mixture into three equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, oval patty around the skewer, ensuring the meat is tightly packed.

Grill the Kabobs

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Kabobs

    Place the skewers on the grill. Cook the kabobs for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks. You can rotate them every couple of minutes for even cooking.

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
