Kebab Bowl
The Kebab Bowl is a modern twist on traditional Turkish kebabs, combining the best flavors of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. During the Ottoman Empire, kebab was often served with flatbread and various side dishes to provide a complete, satisfying meal. Today's versions combine grilled meats with yogurt sauce, hummus, rice or bulgur pilaf, and grilled vegetables. This dish is the perfect choice if you want to prepare a rich and diverse Turkish feast at home.

Preparation Steps
1
Grate the onion and garlic, then mix them with the ground meat, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped parsley.
2
Thoroughly knead the meat mixture and shape it into elongated kebabs or smaller patties. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
3
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
4
While the meat is cooking, halve the tomatoes and bell peppers and grill them for a few minutes until slightly softened.
5
Lightly toast the pita bread until warm and pliable.
6
Cook the rice or bulgur in lightly salted water, then let it stand for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7
To assemble the bowl, place the kebabs in a large bowl. Arrange the grilled vegetables, rice or bulgur, hummus, and yogurt sauce alongside. Serve the pita bread separately.
