Step 1
Mix ground lamb, minced onion, parsley, cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.

Divide lamb mixture into 8 portions. Pack each firmly onto a metal skewer, forming a long cylinder.

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ~2 minutes until smoking lightly.
Step 4
Lay skewers directly on grill grates. Cook 3 minutes without moving until edges char.
