Delicious and flavorful Adana Kebabs, made with ground lamb and bold spices, served with colorful grilled vegetables.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, cylindrical shape around a skewer. Make sure the lamb is firmly packed onto the skewer to prevent it from falling off during grilling.
Cut the bell peppers and onion into large, grillable pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the bell peppers and onion with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the kebab skewers and vegetables on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Turn the skewers and vegetables occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the kebabs and vegetables from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Serve with pita bread, rice, or your favorite sides.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion to the lamb mixture.
Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or a side of cacik (Turkish cucumber yogurt dip).
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness.
