Mix all of the kebab ingredients together in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, ideally an hour, to absorb the flavors.

Wet your hands, and take out a small handful of meat mixture out of the bowl, then shape it into a kebab cylinder about 3 inches long. Press the kebab into the skewer, spinning the bottom of the skewer with one hand and making the final kebab shape with the palm of the other. Lay the kebabs down on a flat surface, parchment-paper lined surface, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready for the grill.

Preheat the barbecue to medium-high and thoroughly scrape the grade with a wire brush. Brush the kebabs with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook, with the grill lid down, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until done to your liking. Turn only once
