Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground bison, grated onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, black pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs.
Mix until just combined—do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions. With wet hands, shape each portion around a skewer into a long, sausage-like shape.
Brush each kebab lightly with olive oil.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the kebabs for 3-4 minutes per side, turning to brown all over, until cooked through and lightly charred.
Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite accompaniments.
