Meat Mixture

Method

Preparation of Meat Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef. Ensure they are well blended.

  2. 2

    Add Ingredients

    Add the grated onion, minced garlic, chopped red bell pepper, and fresh parsley to the meat mixture.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes until everything is evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Forming and Grilling

  1. 5

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 6

    Shape the Kebabs

    Take the chilled meat mixture and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion around a skewer, pressing firmly to ensure it holds together.

  3. 7

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 8

    Grill the Kebabs

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

Serving

  1. 9

    Prepare the Table

    On a serving platter, arrange the grilled kebabs alongside pita bread, fresh vegetables, and a bowl of yogurt for dipping.

  2. 10

    Garnish

    Serve with lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
