Meat Mixture

For Grilling

Method

Prepare the Meat Mixture

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together the ground lamb and ground beef until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the finely grated onion, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

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

Prepare the Skewers

  1. 4

    Soak Skewers

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

  2. 5

    Shape Kebabs

    Once the meat mixture has chilled, take a handful of the mixture and shape it around each skewer, pressing firmly to ensure it adheres.

  3. 6

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Lightly brush each kebab with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sticking during grilling.

Grill the Kebabs

  1. 7

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Grill Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are cooked through and have nice grill marks.

Serve the Kebabs

  1. 9

    Prepare Serving Plate

    On a serving plate, arrange the kebabs alongside pita bread, fresh vegetables, and a bowl of yogurt.

  2. 10

    Enjoy

    Serve the Adana kebabs warm and enjoy with the fresh vegetables and yogurt for dipping.
