Ingredients

• 500 grams ground lamb
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 small onion
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground sumac
• 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely mincing the red bell pepper and onion, ensuring they are chopped small enough to blend well with the ground meat.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley, setting them aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with minced red bell pepper, garlic, onion, and parsley.

Step 4

Add the ground cumin, ground sumac, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the lamb mixture.

Step 5

Mix the ingredients thoroughly by hand until everything is evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each into a long, thin kebab shape around a skewer.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Grill the kebabs for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 70°C (158°F).

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Adana Kabab immediately with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
