Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb or beef
- 1 medium-sized, finely grated onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons, finely chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with the finely grated onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.
Drizzle the olive oil into the mixture and knead everything together to ensure the ingredients are well combined. Use your hands for the best result.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a cylinder or oval, then flatten slightly to form kebab-like shapes.
If using skewers, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes beforehand to avoid burning. Thread each kebab onto a skewer, if desired.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the kebabs for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until they are evenly browned and fully cooked through.
Serve the Kebab Iroog hot, paired with flatbread, a fresh salad, and a side of yogurt or tahini sauce.
