Take 600 grams of ground meat and knead it with 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes for 15 minutes.
Finely chop 1 red bell pepper. Add 2 dessert spoons of salt, the chopped bell pepper, and 1 tablespoon of room temperature butter to the meat and knead for another 5 minutes.
While kneading, wet your hands occasionally. This will make the kneading process easier. Knead until you achieve a homogeneous texture.

After threading onto skewers, place them in the refrigerator for at least 5-6 hours to rest.
After the resting period, you can cook them in the oven or on a pan. If you're baking them, you can cook them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through. You can cook them on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper or on a grill rack in the oven.
Once they are cooked, you can serve them with lavash, roasted tomatoes or peppers on the side. Enjoy your meal!
