Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground lamb
• 1 medium, finely chopped Red bell pepper
• 1 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 whole Lemon
• 6 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, chopped red bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the lamb mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion onto a soaked wooden skewer, pressing firmly to adhere the meat to the skewer.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are evenly browned and cooked through.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Serve the paleo Adana kebap with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness and flavor.
