Herbed Meat Kebabs

Herbed Meat Kebabs
Quentin Bacon
You'll need about 35 skewers; if using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for at least 1 hour in water first.
o    2 pounds ground beef
o    1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
o    1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
o    1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
o    1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
o    1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon water
o    3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
o    2 teaspoons kosher salt
o    1 teaspoon ground cumin
o    1 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika
o    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
o    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1. Put all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix really well with your hands. Shape the ground beef mixture into cylinders about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter, put them on skewers, and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
2. When the grill is fired up, place the meat kebabs over the heat and grill them until good and charred on each side, 4 to 6 minutes.

Serve these kebabs hot off the grill.
