Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning if grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh cilantro, and fresh parsley.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice. Mix everything well with your hands until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion around a wooden skewer to form a long, cylindrical kebab.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or broiler pan to prevent sticking.
Cook the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Serve hot with flatbreads, a side of yogurt sauce, and a fresh salad for a complete meal.
