A traditional Middle Eastern dish. Try this with half beef and half lamb for a more Armenian taste.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Soak wooden skewers in warm water for 20-30 minutes prior to preparing food.
  2. 2
    Place meat in a large bowl; add the onion, egg, salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
  3. 3
    Beat with a spoon until well mixed and the meat turns lighter in color.
  4. 4
    Take a handful of the mixture and form it around the skewer to approximately 6" long and 1" in diameter to make an elongated patty (it helps to oil hands, and lay out some wax paper to work on).
  5. 5
    Set kebabs aside on wax paper on another plate until ready to grill.
  6. 6
    Grill kebabs over hot coals or under broiler until cooked through, turning once.
  7. 7
    Serve with lemon wedges, and chelou (rice) with a sprinkling of sumak seasoning (optional).

Loved this, but like others, there was no way the mixture could be formed around skewers. It was just too wet. I simply formed elongated patties and grilled.

    This was good but not quite the same as my grandma made, it's also way to soggy, maybe another egg or some breadcrumbs would help because they did not stay on the skewers, broiling them on a cookie sheet also produced a lot of fat. The flavor was good though and it was an easy weeknight meal.

    Excellent recipe Sue! I followed it to a T, and it tasted just like the Kebabs at Tehran-a favorite restaurant of ours in Las Palmas. The Sumac you sent was the perfect compliment! I served the Kebabs with Miller's Iranian Kebabs, and basmati rice (even did the bit of saffron flavored rice on top), a roasted tomato and an egg yolk. This was one of the most delicious meals ever! I can't wait to make it again! Thanks Sue!

    I made this with turkey, as i had an abundance of it. I also added a clove of garlic finely minced. The meat mixture was too wet to stay on the kebob, so I formed kebob shapes on an oiled cookie sheet, then skewered them while on the sheet. Then I put the entire pan on the grill. Once one side was cooked I used a large spatula to transfer them directly on the grill. After all was said and done they turned out perfectly. This dish is a crowd pleaser. But be prepared for a little extra work when using ground turkey.
