→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 medium yellow onion cut into quarters
02 -
1 cup fresh parsley rinsed and dried
03 -
600 grams lean ground beef
04 -
1 teaspoon salt
05 -
¼ teaspoon black pepper
06 -
¼ teaspoon seven spice blend
07 -
⅛ teaspoon cayenne add more if you like it spicy
# Instructions:
01 -
Put your quartered onion and parsley in the food processor. Pulse a few times until everything's chopped up fine.
02 -
Dump your ground beef into a big bowl. Add the chopped onion-parsley mix and all spices. Get your hands dirty and mix it all up well.
03 -
Grab some meat mixture and wrap it around each skewer. Make sure it's about an inch or inch and a half thick all around.
04 -
Fire up your grill, charcoal or gas works fine. For gas grills, heat to medium-high and oil the grates. Lay your kebabs on the grill. Cook about 4 minutes on one side, flip them over, and cook another 4 minutes until they're done inside.

Pop them on plates right away and enjoy.
