Ingredients




1 onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 fresh red chili, seeded and cut into strips
pound ground beef
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon each paprika and ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Chopped scallions, to serve

Preparation

1 Place the onion, garlic and chili in a food processor and process briefly. 2 Add the ground beef, parsley, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper and blend to a paste. 3 Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. With damp hands, take an egg-sized piece of the mixture and press it into a long sausage shape on a skewer. (Skewers made from rosemary twigs may be used to add extra fragrance.) 4 Broil the brochettes under the broiler or on a grill, turning frequently, 6 to 7 minutes, until well browned on the outside but still moist inside. To serve, spoon yogurt over the brochettes and sprinkle with chopped scallions. 5 Serve with salad and pita bread. 6 Makes 6 servings
