Ground-Meat Kebabs (Kofta Kabab)

1 lb. ground lean beef or lamb
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 medium onion, grated
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
Salt to taste

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Let stand 1 hour
to blend flavors. Preheat oven to broil. Or prepare hot coals on
barbecue grill. Using about 1/4 cup mixture for each kebab, mold
into a sausage shape around flat metal skewers. Moistening your
hands will help mold the meat mixture onto skewers. Taper ends of
sausage shapes to prevent meat from slipping off skewers during
cooking. Place skewers on broiler rack 4 inches from heat source
on grill or over hot coals. Turn frequently to brown evenly until
meat is done as desired, 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
