Notes

You can substitute ground beef with ground lamb or a mix of beef and lamb for a more traditional flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Consider adding minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavor of the kebabs. Serve with hummus, baba ganoush, or salad for a complete meal.
