# What You’ll Need:
→ Meat & Produce
01 -
600 grams of lean ground beef
02 -
1 medium yellow onion, cut into quarters
03 -
1 cup of fresh parsley, cleaned and dried
→ Seasonings
04 -
1 teaspoon of salt
05 -
A quarter teaspoon of black pepper
06 -
¼ teaspoon of a blend of seven spices
07 -
⅛ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more if you like things spicy)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Use a food processor to chop the onion and parsley finely.
02 -
Throw the ground beef, the parsley-onion mix, and all the spices into a big bowl. Use your hands to mix it all up really well.
03 -
Wrap the meat mixture around skewers, shaping it into layers about 1-1½ inches thick.
04 -
On a greased grill over medium-high heat, cook them for about 4 minutes per side or until done.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Soak your wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes so they don’t burn.
02 -
If you don’t have the seven-spice mix, allspice works just fine as a replacement.
03 -
Prefer burgers? Shape these into patties instead.
04 -
No grill? Bake them at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes.
05 -
Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
