Ingredients

🥩 2 pounds of ground beef (88% lean / 12% fat)
🧅 1 medium onion
🧄 2 cloves of garlic
🌶️ 1 jalapeño
🫑 1 red bell pepper
🌿 A handful of parsley (about 1/2 a bunch)
🌶️ 2 tablespoons pepper paste
🧂 1 tablespoon salt
⚫ 1 teaspoon black pepper
🌿 1 teaspoon cumin
🌿 1 teaspoon coriander
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🌕 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
🍅 Cherry tomatoes

Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2- Prepare the Vegetables:

In a food processor, mince the onion, garlic, jalapeño, bell pepper, and parsley until finely chopped.

3- Mix the Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine the minced vegetable mixture with the ground beef.
Add the pepper paste, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

4- Shape the Kebabs:

Take about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture and shape them into small football-shaped kebabs.
Ensure they are not too thin or small to prevent them from drying out during baking.

5- Bake the Kebabs:

Place the shaped kebabs on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Scatter cherry tomatoes around them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
For a charred appearance, broil the kebabs for the last minute of
cooking.

6- Serve:

Remove from the oven and serve hot with rice, in a pita wrap, or accompanied by a fresh salad.
