Step-by-Step Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the vegetables
   Roughly chop the onion, parsley, and both green and red bell peppers. Add the garlic cloves. Use a blender or food processor to grind the vegetables into a chunky paste.

2. Grind the chicken
   Cut the chicken fillets into large pieces. Blend or grind in a food processor until finely minced but not over-processed.

3. Combine chicken and vegetables
   In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken with the blended vegetables. Add salt, black pepper, sweet paprika, dried mint, and ground cumin. Mix until fully combined.

4. Chill the mixture
   Cover the chicken mixture with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes shaping easier.
