👨‍🍳 Method

For the Meatball mix

  1. 1
    Mix the ground meat with the onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, chili, cinnamon, olive oil, salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
  2. 2
    Knead the mixture 5–7 minutes, 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
    With wet hands, shape the mixture into long logs around skewers.

  4. 4
    Heat a grill to high heat.

  5. 5
    Grill the kebabs 4–5 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.
  6. 6
    Serve hot with pita bread, a green salad and yogurt sauce.
