Start by finely dicing the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Chop the parsley finely as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef or lamb with the diced red bell pepper, onion, and garlic.
Add the chopped parsley, fine bulgur, ground cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Make sure the spices and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bulgur to soften.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Take one portion and form it around a skewer, pressing firmly to ensure it sticks. Repeat with the remaining portions.
Lightly brush each kebap with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Place the kebaps on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Remove the kebaps from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve with lemon wedges and your choice of side dishes, like salad or rice.
