Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground bison
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoon minced onion
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoon cumin
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • pinch of cayenne
  • pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • olive oil, as needed
  • tzatziki sauce, for serving
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground bison with the onion, cilantro, and seasonings. On 2 greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, divide the mixture into roughly 20 balls. Wrap each ball around 20 skewers and shape the bison mixture into elongated pieces about 3 inches long around the skewers. Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator and let the kebabs chill for at least 2 hours.
  2. After 2 hours, preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grease the grill grates with olive oil and, working in batches, add the skewers to the grill. Cook the skewers, turning occasional, until charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
