Mediterranean Beef Skewers

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 tbsp lemon juice, and zest from from one lemon
• 1.5 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 tsp light olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp turmeric
• .5 tsp ground cumin
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 10-inch wooden skewers, soaked 30 minutes
• 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

Mix all of the ingredients until roughly combined. Avoid over-mixing to avoid gumminess.

Separate the mixture into ten parts. Roll and flatten each part along the skewer so that it is about 1-inch wide and fits about 6 inches up the skewer.

Brush each skewer with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Over a hot grill, char and cook the skewers until done (about 3 minutes per side).
