Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife or spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Kebab

  • 500 g minced beef (or lamb)
  • 1 onion (dry onion)
  • 1 small handful fresh parsley
  • 2 fresh bell peppers
  • 3 green peppers
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika

For the Topping

  • 2–3 tomatoes, sliced
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the vegetables:

  • Place onion, parsley, bell peppers, and green peppers in a food processor. Blend finely, then squeeze out excess water thoroughly.

Mix the kebab:

  • In a large bowl, combine minced meat with the squeezed vegetable mixture. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Knead well until fully combined.

Shape the kebab:

  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil. Spread the meat mixture evenly. Cut into long strips using a knife or spatula, leaving small spaces between each strip.

Add tomatoes:

  • Place sliced tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle olive oil over them.

Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 220°C (428°F). Bake for 15 minutes. Switch to top grill (broil) and cook until slightly browned. Remove before drying out.

Notes

  • Squeezing vegetables prevents excess moisture.
  • Tomatoes can be roasted separately for deeper flavor.
  • You can substitute beef with chicken (add 1 tbsp olive oil for moisture).
