Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup packed parsley leaves thicker stems removed
  • 1 small onion about 1/2 cup
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp mild (sweet) paprika
  • 1 tsp smoked hot paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp nutmeg freshly ground
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Pulse the onion, parsley, garlic, and spices in a food processor until finely chopped and blended.
  • Mix the onion and spice mixture with the ground beef until well combined. Microwave a small bit of the meat to cook it, and taste it to check for salt and pepper. Add more as necessary.
  • Forming ping pong ball-size balls of meat, skewer the balls down the center and form the meat into a thick sausage shape around the skewer. Repeat until the meat is used up.
  • You can refrigerate the meat at this point for up to a few hours, or grill right away until medium-rare/medium, about 130-135F on a thermometer. Serve with tzatziki and enjoy!
