Begin by grating the onion using the fine side of a grater. Place the grated onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensuring the kebab mixture holds together.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, grated onion, and egg. Mix thoroughly using your hands, ensuring the egg is completely incorporated into the meat mixture.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the bowl along with the garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.
Divide the meat mixture into eight equal portions. With wet hands, mold each portion around a skewer to form long, cylinder-shaped kebabs. Make sure the meat adheres well to the skewers.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, place the skewered kebabs on the grill. Cook each side for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until the meat is browned and cooked through.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Keto Koobideh Kebab with fresh lemon wedges on the side for added flavor. Pair with a keto-friendly salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
