(finely minced)
½
cup
fresh parsley
(finely chopped)
4
cloves

1

Instructions
If using bamboo skewers, place 8 in water to soak.
In a medium size bowl, mix together the ground lamb, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, and pepper.
Divide the mixture evenly into 8 balls.
Roll each ball into a log shape and squeeze onto a skewer until the meat is covering most of the length of the skewer.
Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate overnight to let flavors meld.
Preheat an outdoor grill on high heat and cook about 3 minutes per side until the lamb is cooked.
Notes
Can also be made with ground beef, chicken, or pork. This recipe makes 8 large kebabs. Use smaller size skewers to make 16 or more smaller kebabs.
