  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, and onion mixture with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Divide mixture into 8 portions, shape each into kebabs, and insert skewers if using.
  5. Choose cooking method: Air Fryer (375°F for 8–10 mins), Oven (Bake for 15–20 mins), Skillet (Cook for 8–10 mins).
  6. While kebabs cook, whisk tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Adjust consistency to preference.
  7. Serve cooked kebabs with tahini sauce on the side. Enjoy!
