Flavorful beef skewers, made with ground beef, onions, and raisins, and seasoned with cayenne pepper, cinnamon, coriander, and nutmeg. Mix together the ingredients while the grill is heating up, and this dish can be on the table within 45 minutes.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3/8 cup raisins, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- skewers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
PREPARATION:
Preheat grill for high heat.
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, onion, raisins, and parsley. Season with cayenne pepper, cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg, sugar, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Form into 6 flat sausages around skewers. Lightly brush sausages with oil; this prevents sticking to the grill.
Arrange skewers on hot grill grate. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly, until well done.
