- ½ medium onion, finely minced
- 2 tbsp baharat spice blend (or cumin + coriander + paprika)

Instructions
- 1
Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes while you prep.

Mix ground beef with half the minced onion and 1 tbsp baharat, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper until just combined—don't overwork.
- 3
Repeat with chicken and lamb, each with remaining onion and baharat (split the spice blend evenly across all three meats).
- 4
Divide each meat into 4 portions; mold firmly onto skewers in long, thin logs, pressing to help them stick.

Preheat grill or grill pan to high; brush grates with oil. Grill skewers 8–10 minutes, rotating every 2 minutes, until charred and cooked through.

Whisk tahini with lemon juice, 3 tbsp water, 1 minced garlic clove, and salt to taste until pourable. Serve kebabs with sauce, pita, cucumber, and tomato.
