A delightful twist on traditional Persian kebabs, these lamb skewers are flavorful and easy to prepare.
Soak the wooden skewers in warm water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Soaking the skewers ensures they won't catch fire on the grill.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated onion, egg, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and cumin. Mix until well combined.
Grating the onion helps it blend seamlessly into the meat mixture.
Take a portion of the mixture and shape it around a skewer to form an elongated patty, about 6 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Oiling your hands can make shaping the kebabs easier.
Place the skewers on wax paper and let them rest while you prepare the grill.
Letting the kebabs rest helps them hold their shape better during cooking.
Grill the kebabs over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
Ensure the grill is preheated to achieve a nice sear on the kebabs.
Serve the kebabs hot with a side of rice, salad, and lemon wedges.
Sprinkle some sumac on the kebabs for an authentic Persian touch.
