Kafta

Ingredients:

1# Ground Lamb
½ Cup White Onion, chopped fine
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Tspn Fresh Mint, chopped fine
1 Tspn Ground Cumin
½ Tspn Ground Coriander
½ Cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
¼ Tspn fresh Ground Pepper
1 Tspn Kosher Salt
Lettuce
Tomato, chopped
Plain Yogurt
Pita Bread

In a large mixing bowl combine the lamb, onion, garlic, mint, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt & pepper. Roll out 6 balls of the mixture, which is about what the pita bread comes in. It helps to have your hands a bit wet so things don’t stick. Pierce each ball with a wooden skewer, and then work it into an elongated “hot dog” shape. Place in an air tight container lined with wax paper and refrigerate for a few hours. Cook on a hot grill until well browned on all sides but not dried out.

Serve by putting some yogurt onto a piece of pita, grab the lamb meat and slide out the skewer. Garnish with the lettuce and tomato.
