Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground lamb (or beef)
• 1 small Red bell pepper
• 1 small Red onion
• 3 medium Garlic cloves
• 15 grams Fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely chopping the red bell pepper, red onion, garlic cloves, and fresh parsley.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb (or beef) with the chopped vegetables and garlic.

Step 3

Add in the paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Remove the meat mixture from the refrigerator and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 7

With dampened hands, carefully mold each portion around a skewer, forming them into long, flat sausage shapes about 1 inch wide.

Step 8

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Grill the kebaps for about 6-8 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.

Step 10

Serve hot with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad to keep the meal keto-friendly.
