Ingredients

• 500 g ground lean lamb
• 1 small onion, grated
• ⅔ cup chopped parsley
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp allspice
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together lamb, onion, parsley, garlic, cinnamon, all-spice, salt and pepper. 
2. Divide the mixture into 6 portions. Roll into a ball, then push metal skewer drizzled with olive oil through the ball. Stretch and shape meat along the skewer to make a cylinder-like shape, tapering off the end at the top tip of the skewer.
3. Grill meat on a grill over medium high until cooked through, turning the skewers as needed, until lightly browned on the outside.
