Persian Beef Kabobs

3 lbs. Ground beef
4 Onions, two minced, two Chopped into quarters and spread into wedges
1 Tab salt
2 tea Black pepper
2 tea turmeric
6 Tab olive oil
4 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges (I have also used canned fire roasted tomatoes, drained and cooked with the onions until warm.)
rice (Bastmati, flavored with saffron is pictured)

Mix together ground beef, Chopped onion and spices. Put olive oil in a large frying pan. With your hands, form the meat into @ four inch long cylindrical patties @ 1/4 inch thick. Cool patties 2-3 minutes on each side.
Once the meat is cooked, add the tomato and onion wedges and sear for a couple minutes.
Serve with rice, and top with Greek Yogurt seasoned with shallots or chives.
