Instructions

1
If using wooden skewers, submerge them in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't scorch on the grill.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, 3 cloves minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, 1 tsp kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed and the mixture feels slightly tacky, about 1–2 minutes — do not overwork it. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the mixture firm up.
