Instructions

  1. 1

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

  2. 2

    Grate the onion using a box grater. Place the grated onion in a paper towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent the kebabs from falling apart.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, squeezed grated onion, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Use your hands to mix the ingredients just until combined. Do not overwork the meat, or it will become tough.

  5. 5

    Divide the meat mixture into 4-6 equal portions. Mold each portion tightly around a skewer, forming a long, sausage-like shape (about 1 inch thick). Press firmly so the meat adheres to the skewer.

  6. 6

    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely charred on the outside and cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
