Ground beef kebabs can be bought from street vendors in Morocco. They are served with thick bread instead of utensils. Moroccans use the bread to break off a chunk of meat & then pop it into their mouth. (The times listed does not included 1 hour in the fridge.)

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
1/2 medium onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ras el hanout spice mix, recipe # 262189

Directions

1
Combine the beef, onion, parsley, cilantro, & spices in a large bowl, refrigerate for 1 hour.
2
Wash your hands but don't dry them. Gently pack small amounts of the meat mixture around the skewers, forming a 4-inch long sausage shape on each skewer.
3
Grill over charcoal, turning the kebab time to time so not to burn. Cook throughly. Serve with Recipe #260654 or some other dense bread.

Very flavoursome and honestly the best kebabs I have ever had! DD (toddler) and I enjoyed these by ourselves. I will make them again for DH insha Allah. I used lean ground beef but I suggest using regular as they were a little dry. I did not use any cayenne as we dont like that much heat. I used Ras El Hanout - Moroccan Spice Mix. Next time I will possibly add even more fresh cilantro to the meat mixture. I did serve them with additional fresh cilantro, tomato slices sprinkled with sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon, helmans olive oil mayonnaise (soy free) (another time I served with hummus but still prefer mayonnaise) and lettuce. I used a wheat free flat bread to wrap them all up in. I had to do these in an oven on broil. I will make these again. Made for Ramadan Tag.

This is a great, flavorful dish! I left out the onions, otherwise made just as specified, using your Ras El Hanout - Moroccan Spice Mix. Served with flatbread and loved the rich warm flavor of the meat - thanks for sharing this recipe!

My whole family loved the flavor and ate heartily. I also made burgers instead of kebabs, and used your ras el hanout recipe to make the mix for this. We ate it with flatbreads, hummus, and a marinated veggie chopped salad. Thanks, Nasseh!

My kitchen smelled heavenly last evening. The picture from Sandi (From CA) is what caught my eye so I decided I would make burgers out of this as well. Topped with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onion on a wheat roll. Fabulous!
