Ingredients:

  • 1 slice soft bread
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1 pinch allspice
  • 6 skewers, metal or bamboo

Directions:

  1. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 1 hour.
  2. If you can, run the beef and onions through a food grinder twice. If you don't have a grinder, pulse the onion in a food processor until chopped finely and then add the beef and pulse until it reaches quite a fine consistency. Place in a bowl.
  3. Soak bread in milk and add to meat together with the seasonings.
  4. Mix well and form into football shaped meatballs 2-3 inch in diameter. About 2 or 3 meatballs should fit on each skewer. You can shape them right on the skewers.
  5. Grill on skewers until cooked through.
