Ingredients

• 400 grams Plant-based ground 'lamb' (e.g., Beyond Meat or similar mock meat)
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour
• 1 small, finely grated Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh mint
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the plant-based ground 'lamb', chickpea flour, grated onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, ground coriander, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined and the mixture starts to hold together.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Using damp hands, form each portion into a long, sausage-like shape around the skewers. Press firmly to ensure the mixture adheres to the skewer.

Step 5

Refrigerate the kebabs for 15 minutes to help them firm up and hold their shape during cooking.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the kebabs with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Grill the kebabs on all sides, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

Serve hot with your favorite accompaniments such as flatbreads, salad, and a tangy yogurt or tahini sauce.
