Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
⅜ cup raisins, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons chopped flat leaf parsley
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon white sugar
salt and pepper to taste
skewers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

Preheat grill for high heat.
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, onion, raisins, and parsley. Season with cayenne pepper, cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg, sugar, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Form into 6 flat sausages around skewers. Lightly brush sausages with oil; this prevents sticking to the grill.
Arrange skewers on hot grill grate. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly, until well done.
