Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or 1 lb lamb
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno

  2. Mix all items together like a meatloaf, until incorporated fully.
  3. Press meat onto wooden skewers, about the thickness of bratwurst. If the meat sticks to your hands, it may help to slightly wet them.

  5. You can also add extra jalepeno if you like, or a touch of red pepper.
  6. Serve with toasted pita bread, and /or tabbouleh.
