0 Preheat oven to 375F (190C). In a food processor, add the shallots (or onion), garlic cloves, and diced bell pepper. Process until fine.
1 Pour the veggie mixture into a cheesecloth over a bowl and squeeze out as much water as possible.
2 Next, add the squeezed veggies to a mixing bowl with the ground meat, spices, and parsley. Mix well.
3 Lightly oil a sheet pan, pour out the meat mixture and press it down evenly into one even layer. Take a spatula and score the meat into long, narrow rows.
4 Then, make small, horizontal indentations along each row to give it that authentic grilled look.
5 Bake for 20 minutes on the top rack, and broil for a few minutes at the end to brown the top.
7 Note: Once the kebabs are baked, separate the scored rows with a clean spatula.
6 Serve as a bowl or on pita with tzatziki, tomatoes, onions, and any toppings of choice.
