Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • ground lamb
  • 1½ % salt
  • 0.125 whole onion
  • 2 g cumin
  • 1 g red pepper flake
  • 30 g harissa
Put the ground lamb, salt, grated onion, cumin, red pepper flake and harissa in a bowl and mix until pasty and sticky, adding a splash of water if needed.
With hands dipped in water, spread a handful of meat along each skewer, not too much so it does not fall off or stay raw inside.
Loading the skewers
Set the skewers on a baking sheet and press flat into a rectangle for more surface to crisp.
Rest in the fridge a couple of hours or overnight to firm up and dry the exterior (optional).
  • oil
Get the grill ripping hot, rub a little oil on the grates or kebabs, and grill; they cook fast because they are thin.
  • pita
Lay pitas on top of the kebabs to steam, then crisp them on the grill.
  • yogurt
  • parsley
  • pickled cucumbers
  • feta
Serve on pita with harissa yogurt, parsley, pickled cucumbers and feta.
