Adana Kebap - Spicy minced meat kebab on a skewer.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg ground lamb or beef (or a mix of both)
• 1 large onion, grated and juice squeezed out
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup ice water (if needed to help bind the mixture)
• Vegetable oil, for brushing the grill

Directions:

1. Prepare the Meat Mixture:

   • In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix well until the ingredients are fully integrated.
   • If the mixture seems too dry, add a little ice water to help bind the ingredients.

2. Shape the Kebabs:

   • Divide the meat mixture into equal portions. Mold each portion around metal skewers, forming a long, thin kebab about 1 inch in thickness.

3. Grill the Kebabs:

   • Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the grill with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
   • Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the meat is well browned and cooked through.

4. Serve:

   • Serve the kebabs hot off the grill with slices of red onion, fresh parsley, lemon wedges, and flatbread or rice.
