Kebabs
Who doesn’t love kebabs?? For these spiced kebabs I used a mix of beed and pork mince but works just as well with lamb or chicken. If you don’t have a bbq you can stick the skewers under the grill in your oven too.
Makes 6 portion sized skewers
Ingredients
1000g mince (I used 50/50 beef and pork)
2 finely chopped onion
3 finely chopped cloves of garlic
A handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 tbsp of kebab spice mix (see recipe below)
Salt and pepper
6 metal kebab skewers or soaked wooden skewers
kebab spice mix
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp coriander seeds
1.5 tsp fennel seeds
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp chilli powder
2 cloves
1 tsp mild paprika powder
1 tsp sumac
1 tsp cinnamon
Using a pestle and mortar or a spice grinder, bash up/grind all spices to a powder.
Method
Start with making the spice mix.
Add all ingredients to a big bowl and mix well.
Press the mince onto the skewers, the mince needs to stick to the skewer so no air is trapped inside. Leave to rest for a few hours in the fridge.
Lightly brush a small amount of oil on the meat and bbq the kebabs until they are nicely charred and cooked through.
Serve with flatbreads, different dips and a crispy salad.
