Ingredients

• 500 grams Lamb, minced
• 500 grams Lean beef, minced
• 1 large Onion, grated
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced lamb and lean beef. Mix well to ensure the two meats are thoroughly blended.

Step 2

Add the grated onion, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.

Step 3

Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until they are well incorporated. This will take about 5–7 minutes of hand mixing to achieve a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Form the meat mixture into a compact, rectangular shape (about 20 cm long and 10 cm wide) and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to a high temperature or prepare a rotisserie setup on a BBQ.

Step 6

Remove the meat from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Skewer the meat loaf lengthwise with a sturdy skewer.

Step 7

Brush the outside of the meat with olive oil to prevent sticking and to help develop a crusty exterior when cooked.

Step 8

If using a rotisserie, attach the skewered meat to your rotisserie, and cook on medium heat for about 60 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and evenly browned on the outside.

Step 9

If grilling, place the skewered meat on the grill, turning every 10-15 minutes, ensuring all sides are evenly cooked and browned.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the kebab from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Slice the kebab thinly and serve with chopped parsley, alongside Pita bread, a fresh salad, and tzatziki sauce for a complete meal.
