Juicy Middle Eastern Kebabs
Middle Eastern Kebabs are just what you need for grilling season! With easy preparations and a hearty meal, you’ll undoubtedly satisfy your tummy’s cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef/ Kebabs (80 lean / 20 fat)
- 1 pound Ground Lamb (or just use beef)
- ½ bunch Parsley
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- ½ Yellow Onion
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
- 1 tablespoon 7 spices
- ½ tablespoon Coriander Powder
- 1 tablespoon Sumac
- ½ tablespoon Aleppo Pepper
- ¼ tablespoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda (Secret Ingredient)
Instructions
- Chop your parsley and garlic or add to a food processor then add to the meat.
- Process the onion separately, then add it to a paper towel and squeeze out all the liquid, making sure to not throw it out. Add it to the meat, then the spices, and mix.
- Don’t skip the baking soda. It helps in retaining moisture.
- Place in the fridge for 45 minutes before shaping on the skewer or until cold. When shaping, use the reserved onion liquid to add a little bit of flavor onto the beef skewer. Grill on medium low heat until cooked through and enjoy.
Notes
- When you don’t have skewers or a grill, you can use the stove or an oven to cook the kebabs as patties.
- If you’re not using stainless steel skewers, soak the wood skewers in water in order to prevent them from getting burnt while grilling.
- While you are pressing the kebab on the skewer, put it back in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes. This will prevent the kebab from falling off.
