Ingredients

• 1 lb ground lamb
• 0.5 cup (finely minced) red onion
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 8 wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, finely minced red onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until fully combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough kebabs.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion around a skewer, forming an elongated sausage-like shape that adheres firmly to the skewer.

Step 5

Brush the formed kebabs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, making sure all sides are seared and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the kebabs with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or Whole30-compliant dips like tahini sauce or homemade avocado dressing.
