Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground beef or lamb
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium small onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 30 grams parsley
• 2 tablespoons fine bulgur
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 pieces lemon wedges
• 8 pieces skewers

Directions

Step 1

Start by finely dicing the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Chop the parsley finely as well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef or lamb with the diced red bell pepper, onion, and garlic.

Step 3

Add the chopped parsley, fine bulgur, ground cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.

Step 4

Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Make sure the spices and all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Cover the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bulgur to soften.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Take one portion and form it around a skewer, pressing firmly to ensure it sticks. Repeat with the remaining portions.

Step 8

Lightly brush each kebap with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

Step 9

Place the kebaps on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the kebaps from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve with lemon wedges and your choice of side dishes, like salad or rice.
