Ground buffalo is mixed with finely minced onion, garlic, and parsley, then enhanced with a blend of warm and earthy spices like cumin, oregano, and sumac. Grilled to juicy perfection, these kabobs are quick, easy to prepare, and full of flavor. Whether hosting a barbecue or craving something hearty, these kabobs are an excellent choice. For a delicious, home-cooked feast, serve them with your favorite sides, like rice, tzatziki sauce, vegetables, or flatbread. We also whipped up a batch of marinated red onions that take this dish up a notch. You can find the recipe for them in the notes below.
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves finely chopped plus additional for serving
1 ½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sumac (optional)
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried oregano OR 1 tablespoon fresh oregano finely chopped
Place the ground bison in a large bowl, and gather all other ingredients.
Grate the onion and garlic and finely chop the parsley. Add the onion mixture to the bowl with the bison meat and then add all of the spices.
Transfer the kabobs to a plate and let them rest for about five minutes before serving. Be sure to pour any accumulated juices over the kabobs before serving with your favorite sides.
ENJOY!
