Directions
Prepare the Lamb Patties
In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until fully combined.
Shape the Patties
Form the mixture into oval or cylindrical patties, about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Prepare the Bread
While the patties are cooking, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pita bread and sauté until golden and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Make the Yogurt Sauce
In a bowl, mix plain yogurt with lemon juice and chopped mint leaves. Season with salt to taste.
Assemble the Dish
On a serving plate, place the sautéed pita bread, top with the lamb patties, and generously dollop the yogurt sauce over the patties.
