Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams plant-based ground 'beef'
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Dice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar 1-inch pieces. Remove stems from mushrooms and slice in half if large.
In a large bowl, combine the plant-based ground 'beef' with minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and shape each portion into a small elongated patty around each skewer, interspersed with bell pepper pieces, onion, and mushroom halves as you go.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and brush it with olive oil.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the plant-based 'beef' is browned and vegetables are tender, basting every now and then with remaining olive oil.
Once cooked, remove from grill and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the vegetarian kebabs with pita bread, hummus, or your favorite dipping sauce.
