Scaled from 4 4 servings (approx. 1 large kebab per serving)

- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 teaspoons 7 spice
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon coriander
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
-
Place the parsley in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, remove and set aside.
-
In the same food processor bowl used to chop the parsley, place the quartered onion and pulse until finely chopped.

Drain the onions slightly to release excess moisture.
-
Return the parsley back to the bowl of the food processor with the onions.
-
Add the ground beef to the food processor in addition to all the spices.
-
Run the food processor on pulse once or twice until ingredients are well combined and form a pasty meat mixture.
-
Transfer the mixture from the food processor to a large bowl and form the Kafta into an oblong shape about 1 inch in thickness.
-
You can form them on a wooden skewer or without.
-
Grease the grates of a gas grill or indoor grill pan, and preheat it to medium high heat.
-
When heated through, transfer the kafta to the grill.
-
Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
-
Serve hot off the grill with your choice of side.
