Ingredients
  

  • 8 bamboo skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
  • 2 pounds ground lamb
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 pinch allspice
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place 8 bamboo skewers in water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, allspice, nutmeg, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix to keep the kabobs tender.
  • Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion around a soaked skewer into a long oval shape.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Grill the kabobs for about 3-4 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Remove and let rest for a few minutes before garnishing with parsley. Serve warm with pita bread and your preferred fixings or alongside Middle Eastern sides.
