Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 250 grams ground lamb
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 20 grams fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, chopped red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and parsley.
Add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Using your hands, mix everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, flat sausage-like kebab.
Insert a metal skewer into each kebab and ensure the meat clings well around the skewer.
Brush the skewered kebabs with olive oil to help prevent sticking.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan on the stovetop, preheat it over medium-high heat.
Place the skewered kebabs on the grill, cooking them for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and browned. Avoid moving them too often to maintain the shape.
Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with a side of keto-friendly salsas or salads for a complete meal.
