Kifta and Sandwich Components

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kifta

    In a large bowl, combine minced beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kifta

    Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into elongated patties or kebabs, about 2 inches long.

  3. 3

    Cook the Kifta

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kifta patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and fully cooked through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread slightly. Spread a layer of hummus on each pita, add a few kifta patties, top with garlic sauce, pickles, sliced tomatoes, onions, and shredded lettuce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve immediately while warm.
