Adana Kebab | Juicy Turkish Grilled Skewers

Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes so they do not burn during grilling.

Halve the red pointed pepper lengthways, remove the seeds, and dice or chop extremely finely. Peel the yellow onion and garlic cloves and chop them very finely as well. Gently squeeze out excess juice from the onion and pepper using your hands.

Place the minced beef in a large bowl. Add the chopped pepper, onion, garlic, sweet paprika powder, ground cumin, chilli flakes, fine table salt, and ground black pepper. Knead the mixture vigorously with your hands for at least 5 minutes until it becomes cohesive and slightly sticky.
