Ingredients:
1lb regular ground beef
30mL smoked paprika
20mL garlic, puréed
10mL cumin powder
10mL coriander powder
5mL chili flakes
200mL cooked navy beans, drained dry
30mL tahini
30mL lemon juice
30mL olive oil
10mL sumac
30mL parsley, chopped
2 pita bread, warmed and fresh
Favourite pickles to serve with
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine beef, paprika, garlic, chili flakes, cumin and coriander, mix well and marinade for at least 2 hours. Divide into 2 and stretch out onto a sweker by dipping hand in water. Start to heat your grill on high. In another bowl, whisk tahini and lemon juice with a pinch of salt. Add 30mL of water if your tahini is too thick. While you are constantly whisking, drizzle the olive oil very slowly until it is emulsified. Add the sumac and the beans and check for seasoning. Grill the beef kebabs on high heat for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the kebab. Transfer the beans on a plate, add the kebab on top and garnish with pita and pickles.
