Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 0.5 cup (finely minced) red onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, finely minced red onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until fully combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough kebabs.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion around a skewer, forming an elongated sausage-like shape that adheres firmly to the skewer.
Brush the formed kebabs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, making sure all sides are seared and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or Whole30-compliant dips like tahini sauce or homemade avocado dressing.
