Description

These grilled lamb kebabs are a showstopper for summer barbecues or weeknight dinners. The lamb mince is mixed with aromatic garlic, fresh parsley, and fiery Urfa chilli flakes to create a rich, savory meat that stays tender and juicy. Threading them onto skewers allows for perfect charring on the outside while keeping the inside succulent. They are served alongside quick-pickled red onions dressed in tangy sumac, which cuts through the richness of the meat beautifully. Pair with warm flatbreads, cool yogurt, and crisp tomatoes for a complete, satisfying meal that balances heat, acid, and smokiness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking by spreading the coals in an even layer, or heat a grill pan to high.
  2. Put the thinly sliced onions into a bowl of iced water for 20 minutes to crisp them up.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince with crushed garlic, finely chopped flat-leaf parsley stalks, Urfa chilli flakes, and plenty of salt and pepper.
  4. Mix well with your hands for about 5 minutes, kneading as if making bread, to ensure the mixture is well combined and sticky.
  5. Form the mixture into 12 sausage-shaped kebabs and thread them securely onto metal skewers.
  6. Drain the onions, then tip them into a small bowl and toss with sumac, chopped parsley, and a pinch of seasoning.
  7. Cook the kebabs on the grill for 4 minutes on each side, turning halfway, until charred and cooked through.
  8. Serve the hot kebabs with the sumac onions, warm flatbreads, yogurt, pickled chillies, sliced tomatoes, and extra parsley.
