3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp plain breadcrumbs
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, parsley, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until everything is evenly distributed and the mixture holds together when pressed — about 1 minute of mixing. Do not overwork.
2
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up and the flavors to develop.
