These spiced kebabs made with ground lamb are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and ideal for a family-style feast.
These turmeric-and-black-pepper-spiced kebabs are made with ground lamb that are shaped into long, thin patties around skewers. They’re nicely charred on the outside and super juicy and moist on the inside, perfect for pairing with vibrant fresh herbs, piquant sliced onion, creamy whole-milk yogurt, and lavash.
To tenderize the meat, we can use baking soda, which raises the pH in the mix and aids in browning on the grill. Dip your hands in water before forming the skewers to help prevent the meat from sticking.
Ingredients:
- 1 large white onion, peeled, plus more sliced onion, for serving
- 2 pounds ground lamb
- 4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 (10-inch) metal skewers
- 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons), plus lemon wedges, for serving
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Neutral oil, for grill
- Dried mint, to taste
- Lavash, sumac, fresh herbs (such as cilantro, parsley, basil, dill, and mint), and plain whole-milk yogurt, for serving
