Ingredients

Servings
  • lb ground beef or lamb, ground
  • lb lamb fat , chopped
  • 1 onion , diced
  • 1 tomato , diced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sumac
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • For the garnish
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • ½ teaspoon sumac

Equipment

  • metal skewers
  • cheesecloth

Instructions

  1. Place the diced tomato and onion in the center of a large cheesecloth. Close the cheesecloth and squeeze very hard on the tomato and onion to extract the juice. Discard the juice.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients as well as the squeezed tomato and onion.
  3. Let the mixture rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator, kneading it every 15 minutes.
  4. Take a piece of meat and squeeze firmly on a long, wide metal skewer and form a long kebab.
  5. Renew the process until the meat is all used.
  6. Grill the skewers for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, preferably on a charcoal fire. It is important to turn the skewer regularly otherwise the meat may come off the skewer.
  7. Sprinkle the skewers with 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and ½ teaspoon sumac and serve immediately with bell peppers and tomatoes, grilled on the same fire.

Notes

  • Make sure that the meat is firmly fixed on the skewer and that there are no air pockets between the meat and the skewer.
  • Do not place the skewer on a cold grill, as the kebab will remain stuck.
