• 800 grams ground beef
• 1 large onion, grated
• 10 grams salt
• 5 grams black pepper
• 5 grams cumin
• 5 grams paprika
• 30 milliliters olive oil

Preparation

1. Grate the onion and squeeze out the excess liquid using a clean cloth
2. Mix the ground beef with the dry onion and all the spices together
3. Knead the meat for five minutes until it becomes tacky and holds shape
4. Mold the beef into long cylinders around metal skewers using wet hands
5. Heat the grill to 220 Celsius and cook the meat for eight minutes
6. Turn the skewers frequently to ensure a charred and evenly cooked surface

Tips
