Kebabs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Adana Kebab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Adana Kebabs

    Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion onto a skewer, making sure to press firmly so the meat holds together.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Doner Kebab Mixture

    In another bowl, combine the ground beef, olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Doner Kebab

    Form the ground beef mixture into a loaf shape that will hold together as it cooks.

  5. 5

    Cook the Kebabs

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the Adana kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through. Cook the Doner kebab loaf for about 15-20 minutes, rotating as needed until fully cooked.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill. Slice the Doner Kebab loaf thinly and serve both the Adana and Doner kebabs with pita bread, yogurt, diced cucumber, tomato, parsley, and a drizzle of lemon juice.
