A meatball mix shaped into flat burgers or into logs on skewers, grilled on a grill pan or a hot grill (or fried in a little oil in a skillet), sometimes with tahini sauce.
Mix the ground meat with the onion, parsley, baharat, salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
2
With wet hands, shape patties the size of golf ball.
💡Wet hands don't stick to the mixture, and the patties come out smooth and even.
3
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grease lightly.

💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
4
Grill the meatballs 4–5 minutes per side, until they are browned outside and done to your liking.
Stove
💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
