Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef or lamb
  • 1 large bunch parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 medium onions, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl combine meat, parsley, onion, spices and mix with your hands. Work with the mixture until it sticks together well.
  2. Pinch off a handful of the meat mixture and work it around the skewer, by pressing it firmly with your hand. Barbecue over hot coals, turning it once or twice until cooked through.
