Succulent lamb koftas seasoned with traditional Middle Eastern spices, wrapped in warm pita bread, and drizzled with a creamy tahini sauce. A unique and flavorful lunch perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a special meal at home.
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the mixture into elongated kofta shapes, about 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the koftas hold their shape during cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the koftas for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
While 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.
Warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side or until heated through and slightly charred.
To 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.
Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve warm.
