Shish Kabab (Middle East, Palestine)

Submitted by Palis Favorites

"These are absolutelyyyy delicioussss on the grill! But on the days you can't fire up the grill I just put them under the broiler for a couple minutes on both sides and they still come out awesome! This is a must have in Palestine, everyoneee loves kabab!! This recipe also calls for two packets of goya sazon, but I couldn't list it under the ingredients because zaar didn't recognize it. The sazon gives it a nice flavor as well as a little color!"

Thank you for this recipe- it was a winner with my picky family. I will add this to our "dinner rotation" and it will be a regular in out house. I didnot have any goys sazon- I think I know where I can find it and will used it next time. Would like to know if there is any kind of sauce that this is normally served with.

Delicious just how we like it. I did skip the goya and added fresh lemon juice and grated the onion for acid,citrus and moisture. Made for Ramadan Tag 2009.

Yummy!! The first kabab with extra lean ground beef that was quite flavourful, I did add some canola oil and unrefined extra virgin olive oil to up the fat content. I can imagine it would be tastier with regular ground beef over extra lean but we avoid it for allergy reasons. I used recipe#404770 for the goya sazon since I will not add MSG to our food. I believe it is that mix that made this extra tasty. I will make this again hopefully some day with fattier ground meat. Made for Ramadan Tag 2010.
