Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp ground mustard
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- salt & pepper to taste
- olive oil
Optional Garnishes
- cucumber chopped in thin slices
- red onion diced
- kalamata olives
- feta cheese crumbles
- tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground lamb.
- Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, ground mustard, salt, and pepper to the meat mixture. Mix everything together thoroughly until the spices and ingredients are well incorporated into the meat.
- Take small portions of the meat mixture and shape them into elongated sausage-like shapes around the skewers. (Alternate with vegetables if desired.)
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using wooden skewers, make sure they are soaked in water beforehand to prevent burning.
- Brush the kabobs with olive oil to prevent sticking and to help them achieve a nice char on the grill.
- Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should reach at least 160°F (71°C) for ground meat.
- Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. You may prefer to remove from the skewers and cut into small pieces depending how you will be serving.
- Serve the ground beef and lamb kabobs with your favorite sides, such as rice, tzatziki sauce, or a fresh salad. Or create a delicious pita sandwich with the optional garnishes listed above!
