Ingredients
Kebabs
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 pound ground lean beef
- ½ onion, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons Jamie Geller Sumac
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper

Preparation
- Get your grill nice and hot.
- In a large bowl, mix the lamb, lean beef, onion, garlic, cumin, sumac, salt, pepper, parsley and chili pepper.
- Remove a handful of the mixture and form the kebabs on skewers. If you don't have skewers, form the kebabs into round patties, about half the diameter of a typical hamburger, although a bit thicker.
- Grill the meat and veggies to your desired done-ness.
- Build the platter by scattering the veggies evenly and placing the kebabs on top. With so many colors, it looks beautiful.
