Prep
Grate the onion, chop the parsley and garlic, then combine with beef, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, paprika, salt and pepper until evenly blended and tacky.

Chill
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes until firm enough to hold its shape on the skewer.
3
Grill
Divide into 2 portions, mold each around a metal skewer into a 1-inch log, brush with oil, and grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until charred and center reaches 160°F.

Plate
Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, cucumber and salt together. Slide skewers onto a plate, scatter with mint, and serve with yogurt sauce and a lemon wedge.
