Method

Preparation and Marinating

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, chopped onion, parsley, minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Shape and Skewer

    Take the marinated meat mixture and shape it around the skewers, forming long kabob shapes. Make sure they are compact.

  3. 5

    Grill the Kabobs

    Lightly brush the kabobs with olive oil and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly charred.

  4. 6

    Cook the Rice

    While the kabobs are cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish
