Ingredients (Serves 2–4) — Dukan Diet Mini Skewer Kebab Ingredients

• 500 g lean ground chicken breast or 95% lean ground beef (specify when preparing)
• 1 medium onion, grated and squeezed of excess moisture
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 8–10 small skewers (soak wooden skewers 20–30 minutes before using)

Allergen note: contains onion and garlic. For a lower-fat option use chicken breast or turkey breast; for plant-based protein ideas see the “Protein: Plant-Based Sources Are Important Too” resources.

Instructions — Step-by-Step Cooking & Timing (Grill or Oven)

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined but do not overwork.
2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs (about 1.5–2 tbsp each) and thread 3–4 per skewer to make mini kebabs. Chill 10 minutes to help them hold shape (optional).
3. For grill or grill-pan: preheat to medium-high. Oil the grate lightly if needed. Grill kebabs 3–4 minutes per side until nicely charred. Use an instant-read thermometer: target internal temperature is 74°C/165°F for poultry and 71°C/160°F for ground beef. Let rest 3–5 minutes before serving.
4. For oven: preheat to 200°C (390°F). Place skewers on a lined tray and bake 20–25 minutes, turning halfway; confirm internal temp as above and rest 3–5 minutes.
5. Food safety tips: always wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat; soak wooden skewers before use; avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.

Dukan Diet Tips & Phase Modifications (Attack, Cruise, Consolidation)

Phase guidance: this recipe is ideal for Attack (if using plain lean protein without added oils), Cruise (serve with approved vegetables), and Consolidation (you can add limited extras). For strict Attack-phase compliance, avoid adding oil and pair with pure proteins only.

Vegetables that pair well in Cruise include zucchini, peppers, and mushrooms. Serve with plenty of greens or a Dukan-friendly low-carb side such as cilantro-lime cauliflower rice with paprika shrimp. For alternate salads, try the Tuna Ni Niceoise Salad idea. To satisfy dessert cravings later in the plan, consider the Sugar Free Flourless High Protein Brownie Mug Cake; for drinks try the Sugar Free Keto Frozen Whipped Dalgona Coffee (Dukan-Friendly).

For context on how Dukan compares to other low-carb programs, review materials like the “Diets like keto: low-carb and high-protein guide.” Always consult a healthcare provider before making major diet changes.
