1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley,

1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp chilli flakes, 1 tsp sea salt, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp olive oil
Garlic Yoghurt

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Add the beef mince, red onion, garlic, parsley, olive oil, and all seasoning ingredients to a large bowl.

Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes slightly sticky.

Divide into 6–8 portions.

Shape into long kebab shapes around skewers or by hand.

Place the kebabs into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry at 200°C for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway, until deeply browned with lightly charred edges.

Meanwhile mix together the yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, and salt.

Warm the flatbreads in the air fryer for 1–2 minutes.

Divide the rice between serving boxes or bowls.

Add the hot Adana kebabs on top.

Add flatbread pieces alongside.

Finish with sliced onion, parsley, lime wedges, and garlic yoghurt.

Add chilli sauce, pickled chillies, feta, or hot peppers if using.

Serve immediately while everything is still sizzling.

Lad Tip: Adana kebabs should look slightly overcommitted around the edges. Those dark charred bits are where half the flavour lives. If they're perfectly neat and tidy, you've probably taken them out too early.
