🧂 食材
- 600 g Ground lamb(80/20 lean to fat ratio recommended)
- 100 g Ground beef(80/20 lean to fat ratio recommended)
- 2 tbsp Onion(finely grated or pureed)
- 1 medium Garlic(minced or grated)
- 1 tsp Fresh parsley(finely chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Salt(or to taste)
- 0.5 cup Black pepper(Finely chopped, for garnish. Optional.)
- 1 medium Cumin(Thinly sliced, for serving. Optional.)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef. Add the grated or pureed onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and optional red pepper flakes. Using your hands, thoroughly mix all ingredients until well combined and the mixture has a slightly sticky consistency. Avoid over-kneading, as this can toughen the meat.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the meat to firm up, making it easier to shape.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Shape the Kebabs: Lightly wet your hands with cold water to prevent sticking. Divide the chilled meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Take one portion and firmly shape it around a skewer into a long, flat log, about 18-20 cm (7-8 inches) in length and 2-3 cm (1 inch) thick. Ensure the meat adheres well to the skewer.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Prepare for Grilling: If grilling outdoors, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 200-230°C or 400-450°F). If using an oven, preheat to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thread whole tomatoes and halved green bell peppers onto separate skewers.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 5
Grill the Kebabs: Place the meat skewers, tomato skewers, and pepper skewers directly onto the hot grill grates. Grill for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are nicely browned and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. If oven-baking, place the meat skewers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, then broil for an additional 4-5 minutes until browned. Roast the vegetables alongside the kebabs.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 6
Serve: Remove the kebabs and vegetables from the grill. Serve the Urfa Kebab immediately, typically alongside grilled tomatoes and peppers, thinly sliced red onion (often mixed with sumac and parsley), and lemon wedges.

Grill the kebabs: Place the skewered kebabs onto the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are nicely browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 71°C (160°F). Look for a slight char on the surface and ensure the meat is no longer pink inside.
⏱️ 10-12 minutes - 8
Rest and serve: Carefully remove the kebabs from the skewers onto a platter. Let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, accompanied by thinly sliced red onion, fresh parsley, and traditional Turkish flatbread (like lavash or pide) or grilled vegetables.

💡 专业技巧
- ✓Using a combination of lamb and beef provides a richer flavor and better texture.
- ✓Ensuring the meat mixture is well-chilled before shaping is crucial for preventing the kebabs from falling off the skewers during cooking.
- ✓Grilling over charcoal imparts the most authentic smoky flavor, but a gas grill or oven works well too.
- ✓For an authentic touch, serve with lavash bread and a side of sumac-dusted red onion salad.
