Ingredients

• 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stemmed
• 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/2 cup onion, cut into chunks
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 green onions, cut into chunks
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 lb. ground lamb
• 1/2 lb. ground beef
• Mint, Carrot and Cucumber Cacik

Directions

1. Place mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Return to food processor.

2. Add parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, green onions, cumin, coriander, cayenne, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Pulse until mixture is very finely chopped. Add lamb and beef; pulse until evenly mixed. Chill mixture at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

3. Preheat a grill to medium; brush cooking grates clean and lightly oil.

4. Divide meat mixture into 8 portions. Shape each portion around a flat metal 8- to 9-inch skewer, forming oval patties about 1 1/2 inches thick. Grill skewers on a covered grill over direct heat about 8 minutes until meat is fully cooked, turning once halfway through. Serve with Mint, Carrot and Cucumber Cacik.
