• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 medium (finely grated) onion
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) parsley
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) cilantro
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped cilantro.

2. Add the paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, chili flakes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

3. Mix the ingredients together with your hands until well combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the kebabs dense.

4. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Take each portion and shape it around a soaked wooden skewer, forming a long, sausage-like shape that is evenly distributed along the skewer.

5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

6. Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are browned on the outside and cooked through.

7. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

8. Serve the Moroccan ground beef kebab skewers hot with a side of flatbread, yogurt sauce, or a fresh salad.
