Yemeni Kabobs

3 lbs ground hamburger*

1-1/2 onion—chopped (scallions are best, minced white onion works fine)

1 bunch parsley, minced

½ bunch cilantro, minced

7 cloves of garlic minced

½ tsp black pepper

2 tsp salt

2 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp dried oregano

"Mix well with your hands.  Roll in balls and flatten.  Should be much smaller than a hamburger.  Cook in skillet or bake in oven until done.  It doesn’t take long." 

Note:  I haven't tried pan-frying or grilling these, but a 400 degree oven works well.  Bake for 15 minutes or so, drain whatever cooking liquid has leached from the kabobs, and then brown them under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

*I usually use ground venison or buffalo for these.  Because the meat is so lean I add about 1/4 cup olive oil and one egg.  Also, 2 lbs of hamburger instead of 3 seems to work fine also...it just results in kabobs that are more herby and less meaty.
