Ingredients
- 500 grams lamb mince (ground lamb)
- 1 medium onion, finely grated
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Add the olive oil and mix well using your hands or a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Step 4
Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long sausage-like form and thread it onto a skewer, pressing gently to secure the meat to the skewer.
Step 5
Preheat your grill, grill pan, or oven broiler to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Place the kebabs on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
Step 7
Remove the kebabs from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the lamb kebabs with warm pita bread, a side of tzatziki, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
