Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 1 large Onion
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 8 Bamboo skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Grate the onion finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, almond flour, salt, black pepper, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chopped parsley.
Mix the ingredients by hand or use a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Take one portion and mold it onto a soaked bamboo skewer, pressing it firmly to create a uniform, elongated shape along the skewer.
Repeat the process with the remaining portions and skewers.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through and nicely charred on the outside.
Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Koobideh Kebab with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
