Method

Preparing the Kafta Kabob

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, grated onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, cinnamon, allspice, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kabobs

    Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a handful of the meat mixture and shape it around skewers into long sausage-like forms. Ensure they are compact and evenly sized.

  3. 3

    Grill the Kabobs

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the shaped kabobs on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Pita

    While the kabobs are grilling, warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Pita

    Once the kabobs are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Slice each kabob into smaller pieces and fill the warm pita bread with the kabob pieces.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the kabob-filled pita with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, a drizzle of tahini sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice, and fresh mint leaves.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve the kafta kabob sandwiches warm, with additional tahini sauce on the side if desired.
