Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 30 grams Parsley
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Deseed the red bell pepper and cut it into chunks.
Peel the onion and cut it into quarters.
Add the bell pepper, onion, and garlic cloves to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Add the finely chopped red bell pepper, onion, and garlic mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the parsley and add it to the bowl.
Add the ground lamb to the mixture along with paprika, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until all the spices and vegetables are evenly incorporated into the meat.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
With wet hands, shape each portion around a skewer, creating a long, thin kabab shape. Squeeze the kabab gently to ensure it adheres to the skewer.
Brush the kababs lightly with olive oil on all sides.
Preheat your grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat.
Place the skewered kababs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and lightly charred.
Serve hot alongside gluten-free flatbread or rice, and a fresh salad for a complete meal.
