Method

  1. 1

    Squeeze the onion 5 min

    Grate the onion, wrap it in a clean cloth and squeeze out all the juice. Wet onion makes kebabs fall off the skewer.

    Ready when: The onion feels almost dry.

    Cover and refrigerate. Cold mince sticks to skewers much better.

    Ready when: The mix feels firm and cold.

  4. 4

    Shape on skewers 8 min

    Wet your hands. Take a lemon-size ball, push a skewer through it and squeeze it along the skewer into a long, even sausage about a finger thick.

    Ready when: Even thickness with no cracks.

  5. 5

    Grill 12 min

    Heat the grill pan on medium-high and brush with oil. Grill the kebabs, turning every 2 minutes.

    Ready when: Juicy kebabs slide off easily.
