Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kifta

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

  2. 2

    Shape the Kifta

    Wet your hands slightly and shape the lamb mixture into elongated patties or kebabs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Kifta

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kifta for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    While the kifta is cooking, prepare the pita bread by warming them slightly. Spread hummus inside each pita, then layer with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and the cooked kifta.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the lamb kifta sandwiches immediately, with extra garlic sauce if desired.
