Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 small onion
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground sumac
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Begin by finely mincing the red bell pepper and onion, ensuring they are chopped small enough to blend well with the ground meat.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley, setting them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with minced red bell pepper, garlic, onion, and parsley.
Add the ground cumin, ground sumac, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the lamb mixture.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly by hand until everything is evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each into a long, thin kebab shape around a skewer.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush the skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the kebabs for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 70°C (158°F).
Serve the Paleo Adana Kabab immediately with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
