Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop or grate the onion. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, and spice mix.
- Using your hands or a large spoon, thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined. Make sure the onion and spice mix are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
- Divide the mixture into small, evenly-sized portions. Shape each portion into a meatball, approximately 1-1.5 inches in diameter. If the mixture is sticky, slightly dampen your hands with water to make shaping easier.
- Carefully thread the meatballs onto skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning. Space the meatballs slightly apart to ensure even cooking.
- If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat it to 375°F (190°C).
- Grill: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are evenly browned and cooked through.
- Oven: Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the meatballs are cooked through and browned on the outside.
- Ensure the meatball kebabs are cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
- Remove the meatball kebabs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- For best results, finely grate the onion to ensure it mixes well with the ground beef and provides a uniform texture.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- To ensure even cooking, make meatballs of uniform size and press them firmly onto the skewers.
- Chill the assembled kebabs in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape better on the grill.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Meatball kebabs are a versatile and tasty option that can be enjoyed by all.
