Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean ground beef or lamb
- 1 medium, finely chopped Red bell pepper
- 1 medium, grated Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 8 pieces Skewers
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef or lamb, finely chopped red bell pepper, grated onion, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, then add chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice. Knead the mixture for a couple of minutes with your hands to allow the flavors to meld together.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Using slightly moistened hands, mold each portion onto a skewer, shaping it into a long, cylindrical kebab about 8-10 inches in length. Make sure the mixture is packed tightly around the skewer.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grates with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewered kebabs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the kebabs are evenly browned and fully cooked through. Turn the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the low fat Adana kebabs with a side of fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or a dollop of low-fat yogurt for a complete meal.
