→ Main Ingredients
01 -
600 grams lean ground beef
02 -
1 teaspoon salt
03 -
1 medium yellow onion cut into chunks
04 -
1 cup parsley leaves, cleaned and dried
05 -
¼ teaspoon black pepper
06 -
⅛ teaspoon cayenne or more for added heat
07 -
¼ teaspoon pre-mixed seven spice blend
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by putting chopped onion and parsley into your food processor. Use the pulse setting until both are very finely minced.
02 -
In a big bowl, toss in your ground beef, minced onion and parsley, plus all the seasonings. Use your hands to work everything together until the mix feels evenly combined.
03 -
Grab a bit of the mixture and shape it around a skewer using your hands. The thickness should be around 1 to 1 1/2 inches.
04 -
Set up your charcoal or gas grill. For gas, preheat it to medium-high and oil the grates. Get your skewers on the grill, cooking for about 4 minutes per side or until done all the way through.
05 -
Serve them hot right away.
# Notes:
01 -
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to avoid burning.
02 -
If seven spice isn't available, allspice works as a replacement.
03 -
Shape the mix into patties if you don't want to use skewers.
04 -
You can bake these at 375°F for 15–20 minutes if you prefer.
05 -
Leftovers last 3-4 days refrigerated or 3 months in the freezer.
