Meat Mixture

Method

Preparation of Meat Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground lamb.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics and Spices

    Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon to the meat mixture.

  3. 3

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and mix well with your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Mixture

    Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around the skewer, pressing it firmly to adhere.

Assembling the Skewer

  1. 5

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, they are ready to use.

  2. 6

    Add Vegetables

    Alternately thread chunks of bell pepper and cherry tomatoes onto the skewer along with the meat mixture until full.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Cook the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through.

  3. 9

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
