    1

    In a large bowl, combine the ground meat with the grated onion, chopped parsley, and crushed garlic.

    Add the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, Hungarian sweet paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until you have a well-spiced mixture.

    3

    Shape the mixture into elongated sausage shapes and thread them onto skewers. If you don't have skewers, you can also make flat patties.

    5

    Serve hot with fresh pita bread, yogurt sauce, salad, or roasted vegetables.
