MINI MIDDLE EASTERN KABOBS

If you’re looking for easy, super flavorful protein, these kabobs are packed lots of flavor and SO easy to make.

I used ground beef here, but a mixture of ground beef & lamb would be amazing for even more flavor. (About 50% ground beef, 50% ground lamb).

Here is how I made it:

1.Process 1/2 yellow onion, 4-5 cloves garlic, and a super large handful of fresh flat parsley.

2.Add 1b ground beef (or mixture of beef& lamb) to a large bowl. Top it with the processed mixture. Then add a few generous pinches salt, 1tbsp thyme, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1.5 tbsp sumac, 1/2 tbsp Aleppo pepper, and fresh cracked pepper.

3.To make these super juicy, add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/4 cup bone broth. Mix well, ensuring everything is mixed well. Cover and let it soak up the flavors for at least 30 mins, but ideally overnight.

4.When you are ready to eat, dip your fingers in a bit of water to make rolling easier, then use your hands to roll them into logs, patties, or whatever shape you prefer. You can grill these or pan fry them on medium heat till they develop a nice crust on all sides. Time all depends on how thick/thin you make these, so just make them to your liking.

5.I plated these & dusted with more sumac, fresh parsley, and served it with an easy labneh dip (or thick greek yogurt) that I mixed with lemon juice, salt, and topped with olive oil and Aleppo pepper.

6. I love serving these with my simple pickled red onions. I just made these by slicing 1 large red onion super thinly. Add the onion to a bowl. Top with the juice of 1 large lemon, a couple pinches salt, & 2 tbsp sumac. Mix well, then let onions sit for 15-20 mins, stirring a few times during that time.

You can eat them as is, in a bowl, or in wraps. If you’re lowcarb, you can also serve them with my Kaizen lowcarb rice! Find that at @kaizenfoodco + code SHREDHAPPENS saves you 20%.

ENJOY 👊🏽👊🏽

If you love Middle Eastern food, this is how you can make the juiciest, tastiest kebabs you’ve ever had right at home. We’re going to start by pulsing together yellow onion, garlic, and fresh parsley. Add it to a bowl with ground beef. Season it with a few easy spices. And to make them super juicy, we’re going to add some baking soda and a little bone broth. Give it a really good mix. Let it sit overnight. Then you can shape them into patties or logs before grilling them. Or you can also cook them right in a pan. I like serving these up with my homemade sumach pickled red onions, cucumber, and a ridiculously good lemon dip. Full recipes in the caption. Check it out.

    I love Middle Eastern dishes.😋 May I ask, what does the baking soda do for the ground beef/lamb?

    Just imagine where the hands preparing food have been before—if that doesn’t make you think twice about touching food with bare hands, consider this: even freshly washed hands always leave sweat, skin oils, dirt under nails, and dead skin cells in the food. Using gloves or utensils should be standard practice for everyone.
