Ground beef and lamb skewers (Kafta kabob)

These kabobs are easy to make a full of flavor! I eat them on middle eastern pita bread with ketchup and some hummus and tabbouli on the side.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef 80% fat
1/4 pound ground lamb (optional)
3/4 cup yellow onion, grated through a cheese grater or minced - make sure to squeeze out the liquid
1/2 cup finely chopped italian parsley leaves
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. allspice
tiny pinch ground nutmeg

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Make sure to mix well! Then take some metal skewers or bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 min. and form cylindrical shaped patties around each skewer with the meat mixture, until all used up. You should use about a half cup of meat to each skewer. Heat an outdoor grill to medium high and place kabobs on grill - rolling them back and forth for a few minutes so they don't stick. You can use nonstick aluminum foil with a few holes poked in it on top of the grill if you like, then it's really foolproof. Grill until cooked through, then remove the skewers and wrap them in aluminum foil prior to serving. These taste great with some hummus and tabbouli!
