Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground mutton
- 1 medium red onion, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)
- 10 pieces bamboo skewers (or metal)
Instructions
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground mutton, minced red onion, garlic, grated ginger, and fresh cilantro.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, red chili flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long oval shape around the skewer, pressing firmly to ensure the meat adheres well. Repeat for all portions.
Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the kebabs for 6-8 minutes on each side, turning them carefully to ensure even browning. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
Once cooked, transfer the kebabs to a plate and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm with a side of grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or drizzled with a Whole30-compliant sauce of your choice.
