For the Spicy Minced Lamb

Method

Cooking the Spicy Minced Lamb

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin powder, black pepper, salt, and chopped parsley. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Shape the Lamb

    Wet your hands with a little olive oil and shape the mixture into elongated patties or kebabs, about 4-5 inches long.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lamb

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shaped lamb patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread or flatbreads on the grill for a minute. Place the cooked lamb patties in the bread, and top with sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and a drizzle of yogurt or tahini sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Wrap the sandwich and serve immediately, optionally with extra sauce on the side.
