Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon or allspice to the meat mixture.
• Soak the skewers in water for about 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the kebabs in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
• You can customize the spices and herbs according to your taste preferences.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, you can either grill them again for a few minutes or microwave them until heated through.
• Serve the kebabs with fresh pita bread, hummus, tzatziki sauce, and a side of tabbouleh salad for a complete meal.
