Ingredients

• 500 g Ground lamb
• 250 g Ground beef
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 6 Wood or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Finely chop the red bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb and beef. Add the chopped red bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix well using your hands until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Divide the meat mixture into six equal portions. With damp hands, mold each portion around a skewer to form a long, thin kebab shape, ensuring the meat is evenly distributed along the skewer.

Step 6

Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and add a nice crust.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Adana Kebabs with your choice of sides such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
