I've never made this recipe with anything other than flat metal skewers, but I have a feeling it would be a pain to get this meat to stick around a regular round thin bamboo skewer. But, if you can't get your hands on flat metal skewers I bet you could just make flat patties and grill them like you would a burger.

Don't be afraid to make this recipe without a grill. I have tried this under the broiler and it turned out just fine.

1 lb ground lean meat of your choice
1 large onion, finely minced
1/2 c minced herbs (I used 1/3 mint and 2/3 parsley)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground coriander
a pinch of cinnamon powder
a pinch of cardamom powder

Mix thoroughly, and allow to chill in the fridge for an hour. Before grilling, separate into six servings and then load it up onto your skewers or form into patties. When the grill is hot, lube up the grates with some cooking oil. Grill at high heat until they're cooked to your liking.
