Kefta Brochettes

• 1-1/2 lb. ground lamb, beef or a combination of the two
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1-1/2 tb. finely chopped cilantro
• 1-1/2 tb. finely chopped parsley
• 2 large pinches dried spearmint or 4 large pinches finely chopped fresh spearmint
• 1 large pinch dried marjoram
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tep. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. ras el hanout (spice mixture similar to garam masala. It's available online, or make your own)
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne

1. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and knead well. Let ripen at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
2. Using wet hands, separate the mixture into 24 sausage shapes. Pack 2 of each onto skewers. Alternatively form the mixture into 1" meatballs for tajine.
3. Grill or broil for 2-3 minutes per side until well done.
4. Serve with Moroccan bread (French baguettes will do in a pinch)
