Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 1 large (finely grated) Onion
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 30 grams (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (for brushing) Olive oil
- 10 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until everything is well incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the meat tender.
Divide the meat mixture into 10 equal portions. Take each portion and shape it into a long sausage-like log around a skewer, pressing firmly to secure the meat onto the skewer.
Place the prepared skewers on a tray or plate. Lightly brush each skewer with olive oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates as well.
Cook the skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and nicely browned on the outside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) if needed.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the skewered ground meat warm with accompaniments like flatbread, tzatziki, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
