Ingredients

500 g minced lamb (It should be very lean so it doesn’t become too greasy during cooking)
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon of olive oil
4 whole-wheat flatbreads (Or you can use Lebanese flatbreads if you can find them)
Handful of fresh lettuce
¼ of a cucumber, sliced
¼ of a red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons of tahini

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F/190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together minced lamb, garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, and cinnamon. Make sure all of the ingredients are well-combined.
Once the mixture is ready, shape it into four even-sized patties.
Place the patties on the lined baking sheet and lightly brush the top and bottom of the patties with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the patties are cooked through. You’ll know they’re fully cooked when they’re no longer pink in the center.
Heat the flatbreads in the oven or on a skillet while the patties are baking.
Once the patties are cooked, assemble the Kafta by placing the patties on the flatbreads, then topping them with lettuce, onion, and cucumber.
Drizzle the tahini on top and serve warm. Kafta jokes aside, your family is sure to love this meal!
