Meatballs on skewers

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. A very common meat delicacy in the East, better known as kofta kebab. To prevent the minced meat from falling apart and detaching from the skewer during cooking, there are a few secrets. For the minced meat mixture on skewers, I use beef and lamb. The amount of onion depends on its size—I found one large onion sufficient. Be sure to include cumin and cilantro for flavor. See the recipe below. The finished dish can now be served.

Instructions

    Cut the meat into large pieces, also chop the onion coarsely. Mix, then sprinkle with salt and spices.

    We pass everything together through a meat grinder, possibly a couple of times. Freeze the prepared mince (shape it flat, so it will be easier to cut later).

    Step 3

    Step 3

    Take out the minced meat. While it is still not fully defrosted, knead it well until it becomes dense. Now divide it into portions of 100-200 grams.
