Method
- 1 Mince the beef and lamb and mix them with plenty of finely chopped parsley.
- 2 The amount of parsley, nearly a quarter of the meat portion, is a distinctive feature of the Egyptian version.
- 3 Grate the onions and squeeze out the excess water before mixing them into the meat mixture.
- 4 Stuff the meatballs for 12 minutes, then refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the meat to stick to the skewers.
- 5 Shape the mixture into flat strips around skewers and grill over charcoal for 4 minutes on each side.
- 6 Beat the tahini with lemon, garlic, and water until a thick white sauce is formed, then pour it over the hot patties.
