Ingredients for Lamb Kefte Pita

Method

Instructions for Preparing Lamb Kefte Pita

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kefte

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Grill the Kefte

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the meatballs with olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pita

    While the kefte are grilling, warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Pita

    In each pita, add a generous amount of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, grilled kefte, sumac onions, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious Lamb Kefte Pita!
