Savor the bold flavors of Adana Kebab, a Turkish delight featuring spiced ground lamb grilled to perfection and served with warm flatbreads. Ideal for a weekend gathering or a cozy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 500 grams ground lamb
  • 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley
  • 4 pieces flatbreads
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and mold each portion around a long skewer, pressing tightly to ensure they hold their shape.

  3. 3

    Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil.

  4. 4

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until nicely charred and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve the Adana kebabs hot with flatbreads and your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or salad.
