Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely grated
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Add the olive oil to the mixture and mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the lamb mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, sausage-like oval around a skewer, pressing gently to ensure the meat adheres well.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the spiced lamb kebabs hot with pita bread, yogurt sauce, and a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
