Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 600 grams ground beef (lean)
- 1 medium yellow onion (quartered)
- 1 cup fresh parsley (washed and patted dry)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon seven spice (pre-mixed spice blend)
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (more to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare onion and parsley: In the bowl of your food processor, add the quartered onion and fresh parsley. Pulse the ingredients until they are finely chopped but not pureed.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the finely chopped parsley and onion mixture, along with salt, black pepper, seven spice, and cayenne. Use your hands to thoroughly mix everything until well incorporated.
- Form kebabs: Take portions of the mixture and mold them around skewers, making the meat about 1 to 1.5 inches thick, ensuring they hold firmly.
- Grill the kebabs: Prepare your grill, either charcoal or gas. If using a gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Place the kebab skewers on the grill and cook each side for approximately 4 minutes until the meat is cooked through and nicely charred.
- Serve: Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve immediately while hot and juicy.
Notes
- You can adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
- Ensure your grill is preheated properly to achieve a good sear on the kebabs.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Serve with fresh pita bread, salad, or a yogurt-based sauce for a complete meal.
