Lamb Seekh Kabobs

Like many South and Western Asian countries, Pakistan has their version of ground meat kababs. Seekh kabobs consist of heavily seasoned ground lamb or beef formed around skewers. They can be either grilled or broiled, only taking 10-12 minutes to cook. Serve the kabobs with cucumbers, tomatoes, yogurt sauce, and parathas.
