Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams ground lamb
- 200 grams ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped red bell pepper
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, grated onion
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 pieces skewers
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Finely chop the red bell pepper and fresh parsley, mince the garlic, and grate the onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef. Add the chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, grated onion, ground cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Using wet hands, mold each portion around a skewer, pressing firmly to make sure the meat adheres to the skewer. Shape it into a long cylinder, about 1 inch wide.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates or pan lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once hot, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the kebabs are well browned and cooked through.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the Adana kebabs hot alongside rice, fresh vegetables, or pita bread, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
