Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 medium onion, grated
• 6 wooden or metal skewers
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
• 0.5 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak in water.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, parsley, cayenne, allspice, salt and pepper until evenly blended. Divide into 6 portions, and press around one end of the skewers to form a log shape approximately 1 inch thick and 6 inches long.

Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until meat is no longer pink.
