Ingredients

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
½ cup chopped parsley
½ teaspoon crushed red chili peppers
2 red onions quartered
1 zucchini sliced
6 baby carrots
1 bunch asparagus
10 cherry tomatoes
10 mini peppers

Instructions

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.
