Şiş Kebab

Şiş Kebab is a flavorful Turkish BBQ dish featuring marinated meat skewers that are grilled to perfection. This gluten-free delight is perfect for outdoor gatherings or a cozy dinner at home.

Ingredients

• Lamb or beef (cubed) - 400 grams
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, cut into chunks
• Onion - 1 medium, cut into chunks
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

• Skewers - 4 (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
2. Add the cubed meat to the marinade, stirring well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated meat, red bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the meat and vegetables.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with a side of your favorite gluten-free dip or salad.
