Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup mixed greens (for serving)
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced (for serving)
  • 1 tomato, diced (for serving)
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (for serving)
Instructions
  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. 3Shape the mixture into elongated kofta shapes, about 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
  4. 4Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the koftas hold their shape during cooking.
  5. 5Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. 6Grill the koftas for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
  7. 7While the koftas are grilling, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together 1/4 cup tahini paste, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl until smooth.
  8. 8Warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side or until heated through and slightly charred.
  9. 9To assemble, place a few koftas in the center of each pita bread, top with mixed greens, diced cucumber, diced tomato, and sliced red onion. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the top.
  10. 10Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve warm.
