Equipment

1 Small Bowl
1 Food processor

Ingredients

1/4 cup bulgur wheat
1 large yellow onion or 2 medium
3 pounds 80% ground beef
3/4 cup loosely packed chopped Italian Parsley
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions

In a small bowl add bulgur, and cover it with water. Let soak for 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
1/4 cup bulgur wheat
Puree the onions in the food processor until ground. Strain the onions, and reserve the liquid.
1 large yellow onion or 2 medium
In a bowl, add ground beef, Italian parsley, baking powder, bulgur, onion, salt, pepper, and cardamom. Mix just until combined.
3 pounds 80% ground beef, 3/4 cup loosely packed chopped Italian Parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
Transfer the meat mixture to a food processor, and pulse until it comes together, working in batches if needed.
Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
Mold the meat mixture around metal skewers, dipping fingers in the reserved onion juice.
TIP: Refrigerate for at least one hour (up to 24 hours) before cooking on the grill. The longer it sits, the better it will taste.
Lay the meat skewers on the grill, and cook until heated through, rotating every 2-3 minutes, for 8-10 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit is reached.
Serve with tahini, hummus salad, pita bread, or rice
