Ingredients

  • =
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 cup grated onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint, crumbled
  • salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • =

Directions

1

Mix the beef, onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, mint, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and cayenne in a large bowl, making sure the mixture is even. Cover the bowl and let it sit for one hour whilst soaking 12 wooden skewers in water.

2

Preheat the grill so it is hot when needed.

3

Shape about a 1/3 cup of the meat mixture into 2 sausages and put onto on a soaked wooden skewer. Dampen your hands first so the meat does not stick to them. Do this until the mixture is used up.

4

Grill them on one side until golden brown and turn over. Leave them for about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

5

Serve immediately whilst piping hot.
