ingredients

1 lb ground beef or 1 lb lamb
1 teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon black pepper
¹⁄₂ cup minced onion
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno
¹⁄₂ cup minced flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 teaspoon allspice
3 minced garlic cloves

directions

Make sure your minced items (onion, parsley, garlic, jalepeno) are very fine.
Mix all items together like a meatloaf, until incorporated fully.
Press meat onto wooden skewers, about the thickness of bratwurst. If the meat sticks to your hands, it may help to slightly wet them.
These are best grilled outside, make sure not to over cook.
You can also add extra jalepeno if you like, or a touch of red pepper.
Serve with toasted pita bread, and /or tabbouleh.
