Identity Krisis Kebabs

Greek? Lebanese? Turkish? CreativeCaveman? Who knows. Possibly a 'what I found in the fridge' kebab. Using my fabulous cast iron skewers that I grabbed last time I was in the UK... (Honestly. I had some weird stuff in my luggage on my last trip!) And also the newly discovered 'grating' attachment on the food processor... but honestly, you don't need a food processor for this... The grated onion though made a huge difference as these kebabs, considering there was no extra oil or anything, weren't dry at all and got the seal of approval from The Man Who Doesn't Like Beef.

Servings 4
Ingredients
  • 800 grams ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, grated
  • 100 grams grilled roasted peppers (You could also grill your own!)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon jamaican pepper/all spice (Took me many years to discover that allspice was jamaican pepper.)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons chopped coriander
  • 14 black olives
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle sauce/pepper flakes
Instructions

  1. Mince up your onion with that fancy grater attachment on the food processor. (Or just use a hand grater...)

  2. Change the attachment to the mixer thingie. Add the grilled peppers and then all the rest of the ingredients. Except the olives and the ground beef.

  3. When it's all mixed up well, drop the olives in for the last couple of seconds to chop 'em up.

  4. Mix in the meat - I used the food processor to mix it in because I was trying to save on washing up. (Lazy!)

  5. Wrap around skewers. This batch filled up 4 of my cast iron skewers with HUGE kebabs. 3 smaller kebabs on wooden sticks. 1 li'l burger that I ate at lunch time cooked in my skillet. Yum. I WAS TESTING IT. HONEST.

  6. I stuck these in the fridge for a few hours before grilling them on the bbq. They sorta 'firmed up' while in the fridge, which was handy, because I was a tad worried how mushy they were before and thought they might fall apart on the grill. But all was good. And tasty!
