1 medium-sized yellow onion, cut into quarters

1 cup fresh parsley leaves, cleaned and dried

# Method:
01 -
Chop the parsley and the quartered onion very finely by pulsing them together in a food processor.
02 -
Throw the ground beef, onion-parsley blend, and the seasonings into a big bowl. Use your hands to mix it all up evenly.
03 -
Take the mixture and mold it around skewers, making kebabs that are about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.

Turn your gas grill on medium-high heat and oil it lightly. Grill the kebabs for around 4 minutes per side, making sure they cook all the way through.
# Cook's Tips:
01 -
Soak wooden skewers in water for about half an hour before using.

You can swap out the seven spice mix with allspice if you don’t have it.
03 -
If you’d prefer, form the meat into patties instead and bake them at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
04 -
Leftovers stay good in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
