Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450 g ground beef or lamb (80/20 blend)
  • 1 small onion finely grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Skewers metal or soaked bamboo

Method
 

  1. Place ground meat in a large bowl and add finely grated onion to help tenderize and flavor the mixture.
  2. Mix in minced garlic, turmeric, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Fold in chopped parsley for a herby lift and better texture.
  4. Using your hands, knead the seasoned meat gently until it becomes sticky and well combined.
  5. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around a skewer, pressing firmly to form long, even kabobs.
  6. Brush the kabobs lightly with olive oil to help prevent sticking and promote browning.
  7. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  8. Place skewers on the grill and cook until the outside develops a rich caramelized color, turning occasionally for even cooking.
  9. Continue grilling until meat is cooked through and juicy, about 8–10 minutes.
  10. Remove kabobs from heat and let rest briefly before serving.
