Lebanese-Style Ground Beef Kebabs

1 1/4 pound ground beef
1/4 cup grated white onion
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat cooking. In a large bowl, combine beef, onion, parsley, allspice, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper. Using your hands or a large spoon, gently mix the ingredients together until just combined--do not overwork. Have ready 4 long metal skewers; form the beef mixture into 8 short sausage shapes and thread 2 onto each skewer. Brush with oil and grill, turning frequently, until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
