Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 large, grated Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef. Mix well until evenly combined.
Add the grated onion, minced garlic, ground black pepper, turmeric, cumin, chopped parsley, and paprika to the meat mixture.
Using your hands, knead the mixture well for about 5-7 minutes. This will help to develop a good texture for the kebabs.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld together and firm up the mixture.
Once chilled, divide the mixture into approximately 6 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a long, smooth sausage-like shape on metal skewers. Make sure to press firmly so that the meat adheres well to the skewer.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with the olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the kebabs on the grill. Cook each side for about 4-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the low sodium Koobideh kebabs with rice, fresh salad, and grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
