Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 onions, quartered
3 ounces parsley, stems removed
2 1/2 cups ground lamb
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon saffron
sea salt or kosher salt
pepper
pita bread
red onion, sliced
green salad greens
hummus
plain yogurt
1 teaspoon dried mint (optional)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, chop onions, pulsing until grated. Add parsley and chop again, using on/off turns.
  • Add ground lamb (ground beef can be substituted) along with cinnamon, saffron, salt and pepper. Pulse until combined and mixture is a smooth paste.
  • Using metal skewers, taking a ball of approximately 2 tablespoons of mixture, place on skewer, press it along the skewer to make an oval of approximately 4-inches long. (It is easiest if you use a grilling rack in case mixture falls off). Repeat with remaining meat mixture.
  • Preheat grill or broiler.
  • Grill skewers for 2 minutes on each side or until crisp on the outside.
  • To serve: on a large serving platter, place warmed pita breads, onion slices, salad greens, hummus and yogurt mixed with mint (if using) and meat. Fill pitas with choice of accompaniments.

These kibbeh pitas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices to the meat filling next time. The pita bread was also a bit too dry. Overall, I think this recipe has potential, but it needs a few tweaks to make it perfect.

These kibbeh pitas were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture to the meat filling next time, perhaps by using ground chicken or turkey instead of beef. The pita bread was also a bit too thick for my liking. Overall, I think this r
