Grilled Spiced Meatball Skewers
Grilled beef meatballs seasoned with cumin, coriander, allspice, garlic and parsley, threaded onto skewers and cooked over high heat until charred. The lean mince is lightly bound and chilled before grilling to prevent falling apart, keeping the char and warm spice character while trimming richness. Served with lemon-yogurt sauce and shaved onion.
