Ingredients:
- 500g ground beef or lamb (high-fat for keto)
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or avocado oil for brushing
Directions:
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, onion, garlic, parsley, and spices. Mix until well blended but don’t overwork the meat to avoid tough kebabs.
- Shape the Kebabs: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into long kebab forms. For ease, you can skewer them onto metal or wooden skewers (soaked in water if grilling).
- Cook: Heat a grill, grill pan, or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the kebabs with oil and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked through.
- Serve: Garnish with additional herbs and serve with a keto-friendly dip such as tzatziki, garlic mayo, or avocado sauce.
Pro Tip: For added flavor, marinate the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping and cooking.
