Kabab Ingredients

Method

Kabab Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form the Kababs

    Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and mold each portion around a skewer, shaping it into a long kabab. Make sure to press the meat firmly onto the skewer to prevent it from falling apart during cooking.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals become ashy.

  4. 4

    Cook the Kababs

    Brush the kababs with olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the kababs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with pita bread, rice, or salad.
