Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Begin by finely dicing the red bell pepper and red onion, and then mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with the diced red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic.
Add the hot red pepper flakes, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the lamb mixture.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Pour the olive oil over the mixture and mix everything thoroughly using your hands until the ingredients are well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Take the mixture out of the refrigerator and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Skewer each portion onto a metal skewer, shaping it into a long, flat shape along the length of the skewer.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once heated, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the lamb is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Adana Kebap with warm pita bread, sliced onions, and a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
