Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground lamb
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and fresh parsley. If possible, use a food processor to achieve a finer and more uniform texture.
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb with the finely chopped red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and parsley.
Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the lamb mixture. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
After the resting period, divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a long, sausage-like kebap shape by threading it onto metal skewers. Make sure to press the meat mixture onto the skewers firmly so it adheres well.
Brush each kebap lightly with olive oil to help prevent sticking. This will also enhance the flavor and ensure a nice char.
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. If using a grill pan indoors, heat it over medium-high heat as well.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the kebaps from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Sugar-Free Adana Kebap with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or lemon wedges for added flavor, alongside your favorite side dish like a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
