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!
