Ingredients
For the kebabs:
2 pounds (1kg) ground lamb
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, grated
2 roasted red bell peppers, chopped
1/4 cup yogurt
2 teaspoons salt or to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons cumin powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons dried fenugreek (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
For the Yogurt Sauce:
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, grated
salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
sumac
Serve with:
pita bread
tomato, onion, mint salad (see video)
Instructions
Make the yogurt sauce: Combine all of the ingredients together except for the sumac. Whisk together. Sprinkle sumac over the top and chill in the refrigerator.
Make the Salad: Finely chop the onion and add to a bowl. Slice grape tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with some finely chopped mint. Season with salt and drizzle some vinegar and olive oil over top. Toss and refrigerate.
Make the kebabs: Finely chop the onion in a food processor and add it to a large mixing bowl along with the ground lamb.
Add the parsley and garlic to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped then add it to the mixing bowl.
Add all of the remaining ingredients to the bowl and knead the mixture well.
Drizzle some oil over your hands and divide the kebab mixture into 16 portions. Form them into kebabs.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the pan. Cook the kebabs until golden all around. 6-8 minutes.
Transfer the kebabs into a platter.
Toast the pita and top it with the salad and yogurt sauce and then with kebabs. Kali Orexi!
Notes
Ground meat options: These kebabs can be made with half ground lamb and half ground beef for milder flavor. The meat should be 80% lean and 20 %fat for maximum juiciness and flavor.

Merhaba komşu. Uzun süredir kanalınızı takip ediyorum. Ve yaptığınız tüm yemekler çok beğeniyorum. Ve tabiiki bende sizin tariflerinizi yapıyorum. Teşekkürler. ❤️👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! This is my favourite food, but I don't have a working oven and need to make it on the stove top! This helps a great deal!
Looks delish
Will you marry me, please? Tell your husband he yo ex now!
Interesting. My mother is Romanian and these are called cevapcici there. Similar flavours and spices but no yoghurt. To lighten the texture, we use a pinch of baking soda, and a splash of soda water. The chemical reaction makes the meat fluffy. Also, we use only the juice from the onion so the texture is finer. I love learning how different cultures do very similar things. Have a lovely day ❤
Thank you for sharing, looks amazing!
Looks delish can't wait to try them. Thank you for sharing!

TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I will try to make these kebabs soon. I love kebabs. I wish you can please do chicken teriyaki recipe. Not now. Later!
Dimitra, you can place any veggie that is round, Olives, grape or cherry tomatoes, etc., in the plastic lid from a coffee can and then top them with another lid, so you have a plastic sandwich. Now, using a sharp chef knife, slice between the two lids to cut all the round veggies in half. Save time and you won't cut yourself.
This looks delicious 😋 I’m going to try it❣️
Your channel showed up in my notifications recently and I have since become such a fan of your incredible cooking. I have a question, my father used to make a grilled and marinated butterflied leg of lamb. I was wondering if you have a favorite recipe?
Thank you ❤
You could also use pork or chicken with pork fat in it
You are so amazing and perfect woman
Superb..
Dimitra, I’m a big fan from Istanbul! I admire your recipes. I’ve made so many of them with super success and have made myself and my friends swim in oceans of joy! We particularly love your chicken and lamb recipes, AND OH GOD, that Kataifi Portokalopita recipe! Thank you so much for your time and effort and the determination to share all the good stuff with the world!
سلام 🌹🤝🔔👍🌹
Nice ❤big like 👍
Very nice. This is so close to mine. Only I use half beef and grill them. Love your videos! 🍋🍋
Hi, dimitra, what you meant by dried fenugreek? Whole seeds, seeds powder or dried fenugreek leaves please. Thank you.
Do you have a video on how you prep and freeze your garlic?
