What oven temp for sheek kebabs?

sb44

I have just made some sheek kebabs (you know which ones I mean, minced meat with breadcrumbs/spices on a skewer shaped like a sausage) and I want to cook them in the oven.

I'm not sure what temp to cook them at, we have an electric oven, should they be on a high heat?



Do you think I shoud cook them at 220 for about 20mins?

I don't have a recipe, just made it up as I went along.

Hi sb44,

Things cooked in the oven cook by volume, so as we can't see the size of the kebabs it's hard to give an accurate time and temperature. If they are about the size and shape of a thick sausage then I would guess half an hour (turning a couple of times) at 180 degrees to make sure they're cooked through. If it was me I think I'd grill them rather than cook them in the oven.

I always thought sheek kebabs were the minced meat ones like I made and sheesh were cubes bits of meat on a skewer.

Sorry folks, couldn't get back online to check your suggestions, so I cooked them at 160 for 35 mins, each one weighed 8oz. I couldn't turn them as they kept turning around themselves, must have been because of the weight. They were bloomin' gorgeous.

I didn't really have one as such.

I used about 800g mince which I mixed with two crusts of white bread, two whisked eggs, a couple of teaspoons of kebab powder and a packet of latino mix which I had in on of those El Paso tortilla kits which was out of date!
