5 tablespoons loosely packed chopped cilantro

2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint

2 teaspoons sweet paprika

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or more to taste

1/2 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch more

1/2 medium red onion, grated

步驟

If using wooden skewers, soak them in a shallow dish of water while preparing the meat.

In the meantime, in a medium bowl, combine ground meat and remaining skewer ingredients except the onion and olive oil. Incoporate most of the grated onion, taking care to not make the mixture too wet; it should remain somewhat sticky, like the texture of sausage. If the meat is relatively lean, add some olive oil.

Take a palmful of meat and press it around the middle of a skewer, then roll it lightly on a cutting board or between your palms to form an even "sausage" around the skewer about 6 inches long. Repeat with remaining skewers and meat.

Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a separate bowl.

Preheat grill to 400 for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Grill the skewers, turning two or three times until firm to the touch and cooked through. Baste with pomegranate mint marinade after each turn. Serve hot. Can reserve some marinade for dipping.
