Serves: 4 people
Time: 1.5 hours
Ingredients:
500g lamb mince
1.5 teaspoons ground coriander
1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon pul biber (Aleppo Pepper)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
100g fresh breadcrumbs
1 red onion, grated
4 garlic cloves, crushed/grated
1 teaspoon salt (or more/less to taste)
Method:
- Mix up all the ingredients until well combined together and all the spices and breadcrumbs are fully dispersed throughout the lamb
- Put the meat mixture into a doubled over piece of foil and wrap really tightly ensuring that all air bubbles are taken out so that your kebab doesn’t have any surprise little air holes.
- Add 2 cups of water to your Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker)
- Place your wrapped up kebab log onto a trivet on top of the water
- Place your lid onto the Instant Pot and set the pressure release handle to sealing
- Set to manual, high pressure, 25 minutes and then allow the pot to go through to keep warm and let the pressure release naturally.
- When you are ready to eat, take the log out of the foil and heat on all sides under a really hot grill to crisp up the outside (just like the turning kebab on a huge skewer in the kebab house), slice up and serve with lots of salad, pickled onions, garlic and chilli sauces.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
P.S. If you don’t have an Instant Pot or pressure cooker, cook this up in the oven covered in the foil for around an 1.5 hours on 180 degrees. Then follow the grilling steps.

Tastes just like the real thing but without all the nasty ingredients!
I made this for the first time tonight Priya and it was amazing! I can see exactly why it’s so popular 😀 HUngry Hubby loved it and ate three massive pittas full of the kebab (he’d have ate the lot if I had of sliced it 😉 )

Thank you so much for this mazing lamb kebab recipe, Priya. This is definely going to be our regular meal from now on. Done in Instant Pot pressure cooker first. You are a star of cooking. Looking forward to cook your chicken shawarma as this one was so delicious. It was devoured by my family. I didn’t have pul biber (Allepo pepper) but added a bit of ground paprika and sumac. Divine! Thank you so much.
