I was skeptical when I made my first attempt to cook Lamb Kebabs in Pitta. There is no way you can make a healthy kebab taste remotely like the greasy chip shop version, right? Well, actually you can. It really is tasty. I often serve with homemade chips or couscous and it’s a hit with the whole family!
Easy Lamb Kebabs in Pitta
Print RecipeIngredients
- 500 grams lamb, minced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon mixed herbs
- Pitta breads
- Salad to serve
Instructions
1. Put the minced lamb along with all of the herbs and spices, the egg and the onion (raw) into a food processor and blend into a paste.
2. Spoon the mixture into a non-stick loaf tin and pat it down. Cover with foil and pop it in the oven at 180°C for around 40 minutes. Remove the foil and then return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
3. After removing from the oven, leave to cool for 10-15 minutes. This makes it much easier to carve.
4. Slice into thin slices and pop it on a pitta bread with your choice of salad.
