Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken or turkey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Dairy-free plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Cucumbers, grated
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small oblong patty around each soaked wooden skewer.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs in batches for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the yogurt mint sauce. In a medium bowl, stir together the dairy-free yogurt, chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, grated cucumber, and lemon zest until well mixed.
Remove the kebabs from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the kebabs warm with the dairy-free yogurt mint sauce on the side for dipping.
