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)

Preparation

  • 1.

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

  • 2.

    Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  • 3.

    Shape the mixture into elongated kofta shapes, about 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.

  • 4.

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the koftas hold their shape during cooking.

  • 5.

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  • 6.

    Grill the koftas for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).

  • 7.

    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.

  • 8.

    Warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side or until heated through and slightly charred.

  • 9.

    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.

  • 10.

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve warm.
