Cinnamon and parsley are more likely to be Moroccan. The Middle Eastern countries often have very similar cooking techniques, just different flavors from the spices.

Ok..... I get it now.... Basically a place where keyboard commandos can say stuff they never would have the brass say to a person in the flesh...
Exactly, and usually political.
Consider looking for Turkish or Persian recipes. The meat is grilled separately from the veg. They use long flat skewers over charcoal. Makes the whole neighborhood smell great!Cinnamon and parsley are more likely to be Moroccan.

DeKalb Farmers Market doesn't carry Ras El Hanout. BuHi Farmers Market usually has a brand in stock in the Middle Eastern aisles. I'm sure it can be found in Middle Eastern groceries, but that might mean a trek. A brand that my wife and I prefer and can easily find at Lidl is 1001 Delights (link below is from a German Lidl website, but it's the same product)I was able to find the link to the Ras el Hanout recipe I used with the lamb. I went looking for a spice with that name at the DeKalb Farmers Market. I then learned it's combination of spices.

Adana Kebabs (Ground Lamb Kebabs) Recipe
In Istanbul, kebabs made with juicy lamb and grilled over live coals were the kind of thing that even at their worst, were still pretty freaking awesome. Here's how to make them.www.seriouseats.com
I have not seen the recipe, but my guess is the reasoning is backwards: because ground lamb is fattier (and when cooked, crumblier) than most cuts of pork or beef, adding some lean ground pork or beef may help the mixture to bind and therefore hold its shape when molded around the skewer. (Adding pork would obviously not be a halal solution.) Incidentally, ras el hanout on pork is delicious.I seem to remember either ground beef or pork being added in as a fat source. Something like 2 to 1 lamb to the fatty meat. Does that sound right?
