Servings: 14
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground bison
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp minced onion
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp cumin
- pinch of cinnamon
- pinch of cayenne
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- olive oil, as needed
- Tzatziki sauce, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground bison with the onion, cilantro, and seasonings. On two greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, divide the mixture into roughly 20 balls. Wrap each ball around 20 skewers and shape the bison mixture into elongated pieces, about 3 inches long around the skewers. Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator, and let the kebabs chill for at least 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grease the grill grates with olive oil, and working in batches, add the skewers to the grill. Cook the skewers, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
