Ingredients

• 500 grams plant-based ground 'beef'
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 250 grams button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 2

Dice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar 1-inch pieces. Remove stems from mushrooms and slice in half if large.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the plant-based ground 'beef' with minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and shape each portion into a small elongated patty around each skewer, interspersed with bell pepper pieces, onion, and mushroom halves as you go.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and brush it with olive oil.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the plant-based 'beef' is browned and vegetables are tender, basting every now and then with remaining olive oil.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove from grill and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve the vegetarian kebabs with pita bread, hummus, or your favorite dipping sauce.
