Chop or process the onions in a food processor. I did this in a food processor as that should give more flavor with the smaller pieces
Chop the parsley in the same manner. There should be about equal parts of parsley and onion. The parsley gives a fresh taste so don’t be scared about adding a lot.
Use a cheesecloth or some paper towels to get moisture out of the chopped onions and parsley.
Mix the spices, onions, parsley, and all spices together.
Preheat your cast iron for 5-10 minutes on medium to medium-high.
Form the meat mixture into around 4 inch tubes
Grill each side for around 5 to 6 minutes a side. These are best at medium. Making sure there is a nice sear on each side will be about the right amount of time.
Serve with rice and any other side (hummus, olives, pickles, feta)
