Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 20 grams fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Finely chop the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, add the lean ground beef.
Add the finely chopped red bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the bowl with the beef.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the beef mixture.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper over the beef mixture.
Use your hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion around a skewer, pressing them into elongated shapes about 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the skewers to the skillet.
Cook the skewers for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
Remove the skewers from the heat and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs hot with a side of salad or rice for a complete meal.
