Seekh Kabobs (GAPS-Friendly)

My husband has introduced me to some delicious Pakistani dishes and this is one of them! These tender, spiced seekh kabobs are inspired by traditional South Asian flavors and made without grains, fillers, or binders. Perfect for grilling, broiling, or pan-searing, and gentle on digestion.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef or lamb (or turkey if preferred)

• 1 small onion, very finely minced or grated

• 2 cloves garlic

• 1 tsp fresh ginger

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp ground coriander

• ½ tsp paprika

• ¼ tsp turmeric (optional)

• Sea salt to taste

• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped

• 1–2 tbsp olive oil or ghee

• Optional: pinch of cayenne for heat, 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

  
  

Instructions

1. Optional but it an really add to the flavor of the meat to add the garlic, ginger and herbs to a blender and blend with a little bit of water to make a paste.

2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix gently until just combined.

3. Shape into logs around skewers (or shape into patties if not using skewers).

4. Grill, broil, or pan-sear over medium heat until cooked through (about 8–10 minutes), turning once.

5. Serve with cucumber slices, tomato, onions, cilantro and a GAPS-friendly mint or avocado sauce or yogurt raita.
