Kebab Kabob

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Meatball mix

1. 1
   Mix the ground meat with the onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, baharat, salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
2. 2
   Knead the mixture well, until smooth and sticky.

   💡Kneading binds the meat, and chilling firms it a little: that way the kebab stays on the skewer and doesn't fall apart over the fire.
3. 3
   Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and, with wet hands, shape them into long logs around skewers.

2. 5
   Brush the kebabs with the olive oil.

   Pastry brush

   💡Brush the oil on the meat itself: it stays on the meat and doesn't burn on the hot surface.
3. 6
   Grill the kebabs about 4 minutes per side, until they are browned outside and done to your liking.

   Tongs

   💡Don't press the meat or flip it more than once: the juices run out and the meat dries out. It releases from the grate once the underside is browned.

   Serve with pita, hummus and Israeli salad.
