About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb ground meat
- 1 piece onion
- to taste parsley
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- to taste paprika
- to taste cumin
- to taste tomato
- to taste bell pepper
- to taste olive oil
Instructions
- 1Process the onion and parsley in a food processor until the mixture becomes a fine, slightly wet paste and any excess liquid is drained.
- 2Place the ground meat in a large mixing bowl, add the processed onion‑parsley mixture, and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin.
- 3Knead the mixture with clean hands for about 3–5 minutes until it becomes homogeneous and slightly sticky.
- 4Shape the seasoned meat into long, flat kebabs about 2 cm thick and 12 cm long, spacing them evenly on a parchment‑lined baking sheet.
- 5Arrange the sliced tomatoes and bell peppers around the kebabs, leaving a little space for airflow.
- 6Drizzle the vegetables and kebabs with olive oil and, if desired, sprinkle a pinch of extra salt over the meat.
- 7Preheat the oven to 428°F (428°F). Once hot, bake the kebabs and vegetables for 12–15 minutes, until the meat is cooked through.
- 8Switch the oven to the broiler setting, place the tray back in, and broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until the tops of the kebabs and the vegetables develop a light char.
- 9If the vegetables are not sufficiently browned, transfer them to a separate tray and broil or roast an additional 2–3 minutes until they are crisp and caramelized.
- 10Remove the tray from the oven, let the kebabs rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot with the roasted tomatoes and peppers.
