Scrumptious Beef Skewers

By garciamoss

Ingredients

• 1 lb Fresh Ground Beef* (or Turkey)
• 1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 Tablespoons, fresh Cilantro, chopped
• 3 Tablespoons, fresh Parsley, chopped
• 1 Teaspoon, Chili Powder (mild or spicy)
• 1 Teaspoon, Ground Coriander
• A little oil for brushing
• Salt and Pepper, to taste (about 1 teaspoon for salt and 1/2 for ground pepper)
• If using beef, get the one with a little fat so the meat retains its tenderness and moistness while grilling. It won't dry up, if it has some fat.

Preparation

Step 1

If you are using wooden skewers, soak them first in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling. I used the metallic ones.

Place the ground meat, onion, herbs, spices and seasoning in a large bowl and gently combine. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until everything is mixed and cohesive. You may have to do this in batches if you have a small processor.

Preheat a ridged grilled pan (or whichever grill you want to use) over medium to high heat. Brush the grills with a little oil.

Divide the mixture into 10-12 portions. Using wet hands, shape each meat mixture into sausage links around the skewer. The meat may shrink while grilling so adjust the length accordingly.

Place the skewers on the grill, turning occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until nicely browned on all sides and fully cooked through. Serve with rice and some salad greens and cucumber yogurt sauce! Enjoy! :-)
