GROUND BEEF KEBABS
These Moroccan ground beef kebabs are as easy as 1-2-3. Combine the ingredients together, skewer them, and grill them to perfection. Minced beef kebabs cook fairly quickly, so these take barely 5 to 6 minutes on the grill. Serve them with flavored rice or pita bread and tahini. Don't forget to serve some homemade hummus and aromatic salads for that full Middle-Eastern experience.

Steps:
- Combine - In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Pro tip - We combine all the ingredients before processing to prevent overprocessing.
- Process - Transfer the mixture to the food processor and pulse no more than 8 to 10 times. Pro tip - processing in the food processor makes the mixture slightly stick by distributing the fat. This helps the meat and marinade hold together.
- Marinate - Transfer the meat back to the bow and leave to marinate for 15 minutes on the counter or up to overnight in the fridge. Pro tip - Alternatively, you can thread the meat on the skewers and leave in the fridge until ready to grill.
- Thread/shape kababs - shaping these can be tricky so pay attention.- Take about 1/3 cup amount of beef mixture and make a ball then shape it into a long sausage. - Thread the skewer through the sausage. - Now using your fingers press them around the meat as if you are making a fist pressing the meat to the skewer. - Be gentle not to break the sausage but firm enough so it adheres to the skewersPro tip - dipping your hands in water will make the meat less sticky. Gloves do not help much.
- Hot grill - Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Brush the grill with cooking oil. Pro tip - The grill must be very hot but not smoking hot otherwise the meat will stick to the grill.
- Grill - Place the skewers on the grill and let cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Brush them with oil to keep them moist. The char marks can be controlled by raising and lowing the heat under the grill.Pro tip - do not try to move the kebabs for the first 3 minutes as they will be stuck to the grill. otherwise, you will break them. After 3 minutes they should release on their own.
- Serve immediately with rice or pita topped with tahini sauce or yogurt sauce and a side salad.

Steps:
- Shave onions with a grater into a fine mesh strainer. Gently press pulp into the strainer to remove juices. Place pulp into the center of the cheesecloth and gently press until no further juice drips out.
- Place lamb and beef in a pot. Add green onion and onion pulp; mix until thoroughly combined. Mix in baking powder, salt, pepper, sumac, and turmeric. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Cover the pot and place in the refrigerator until flavors have melded, at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Mold meat mixture onto the skewers.
- Cook on the preheated grill, rotating every minute, until nicely browned on all sides, and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 25 minutes.

SPICED GROUND MEAT SKEWERS
These oniony, deeply spiced skewers, made with just about any kind of ground meat, are based on Adana kebabs, which are named for the Turkish city from where they're said to have originated. Adana kebabs are traditionally made from hand-minced lamb that's been larded with lamb tail fat, but the flavors of cumin, red chile flakes and sumac are just as delicious with regular ground lamb, or even ground beef or turkey. The trick to getting a pleasing, springy texture is to knead the meat and seasonings until the mixture feels sticky. Keep everything cold, and then wet your hands when you form the meat around the skewers. Cooking the kebabs over charcoal adds a compelling smokiness, but using the highest heat on your gas grill will also work well.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, sumac, salt, Urfa pepper, black pepper, and cinnamon, if using.
- With your hands, thoroughly knead and massage the meat to incorporate the ingredients, about 4 minutes. Breaking down the meat will create a sticky, cohesive mixture that results in a pleasing springy texture. You can also combine everything in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, in which case it will take only about 2 minutes. Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Wet your hands with cold water, then divide meat into 6 equal portions and mold each around a metal or soaked bamboo skewer (see Tip). Transfer skewers to a large plate or baking sheet. You can grill them right away at this point, or cover and refrigerate them while preparing the grill (up to 4 hours).
- Heat the grill to high. When the grill is hot, lightly brush the grates with oil, and add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with more herbs, sumac and flaky sea salt, and serve.
