Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Instructions
Chop the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic finely or process them in a food processor until they’re finely minced.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, chopped vegetables, red pepper flakes, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and parsley.
Use your hands to mix all the ingredients until everything is well combined and the mixture becomes slightly sticky.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion around a skewer (preferably metal skewers), pressing the mixture to form a long, thin kebab. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes prior to skewering the meat.
Brush olive oil on each kebab to prevent sticking during grilling.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the kebabs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned and cooked through.
Transfer the kebabs to a serving platter, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve hot with pita bread or a side of choice.
