Instructions
- Combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, and all the spices in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into kebabs, shaping them to your preferred size.
- Preheat the grill or oven at 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes on the grill or until they are fully cooked. If using an oven, place them on a baking sheet and bake until they are browned and cooked through.

Notes
For extra flavor, let the kebab mixture sit for 30 minutes before cooking. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs to help bind the ingredients.
