Smoked paprika adds flavor without extra heat.

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, minced garlic, spices, and chopped herbs.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Let the meat mixture rest for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Take a portion of the meat mixture and shape it around a skewer, forming a cylindrical shape.

Press the meat firmly to keep it intact during grilling.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.

Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Serve the lule kebabs with lavash or pita bread, grilled vegetables, fresh herbs, and your favorite sauces.
