Grilled Spiced Beef Sausages
Beef sausages seasoned with cumin, cinnamon, allspice and garlic, shaped by hand and grilled over direct heat until charred outside and juicy within. Served with warm pita, a lemon-yogurt drizzle and a chopped tomato-cucumber salad, this dish draws on Levantine grill traditions where spiced ground meat is cooked over open flame.

Instructions
1
Prep
Combine ground beef, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, smoked paprika, parsley, onion, salt and pepper in a bowl, mixing by hand until tacky.
2
Chill
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes so the spices bind and the sausages hold their shape.
3
Grill
Shape mixture into 3 finger-length sausages. Brush lightly with half the oil and grill over direct high heat for 8–10 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until charred and centre reaches 160°F with no pink juices.
4
Plate
Whisk yogurt with lemon juice and salt. Toss tomato and cucumber with remaining oil. Warm pita on the grill for 30 seconds, then serve alongside sausages, yogurt sauce and salad.
