Begin by finely chopping the red bell pepper, red onion, garlic cloves, and fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb (or beef) with the chopped vegetables and garlic.
Add in the paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the meat mixture from the refrigerator and divide it into 8 equal portions.
With dampened hands, carefully mold each portion around a skewer, forming them into long, flat sausage shapes about 1 inch wide.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the kebaps for about 6-8 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
Serve hot with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad to keep the meal keto-friendly.
