Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or lamb, 10% or more fat
- 1 small red onion, minced finely
- 2 tbsp cilantro, minced
- 2 tbsp parsley, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients. In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix well with your hands for at least 5 minutes to combine everything well.
- Refrigerate. Cover & chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to 2 hours.
- Skewer the meat & prep the grill. Using your hands, grab a ball of the ground beef and wrap around the skewers, one at a time, until all of the meat is on the skewers. Heat the grill to medium high heat.
- Grill. Grill the skewers, turning every few minutes to prevent burning. Cook for a few minutes on each side, or until they develop a grill marks and brown significantly all around.
- Enjoy. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and a sprinkle of parsley (optional). Enjoy with bread, salads, and/or on their own!
Notes
Important: If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning.
