  • In a mixing bowl combine well all of the mini kebab ingredients. Oil your hands with some olive oil and shape the meat into 18 mini kebabs, about the size of your thumb. Set them on a platter.
  • Have a hot grill or cast iron griddle sizzling and ready to go. Add the mini kebabs and cook them on medium high heat until golden brown all over, about 3-4 minutes.
