Mixed Grill Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Shape the Kofte

    Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a meatball (kofte) roughly the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Adana Kebab

    Take a portion of the meat mixture and mold it onto a skewer, making a long sausage shape about 1 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Shish Chicken

    Thread the cubed chicken breast and chunks of red and green bell peppers onto separate skewers.

  5. 5

    Cook the Skewers

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the kofte, adana, shish chicken, and shish kebab for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred.

  6. 6

    Cook the Rice

    While the meat is grilling, cook the rice according to package instructions.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Platter

    On a large serving platter, arrange the grilled meats alongside the cooked rice, green salad, and lavash bread.
