Kafta Meshwiye

Ingredients

• 500 g ground lamb
• 1 large onion
• 40 g flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tsp allspice
• 0.5 tsp cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 flatbread
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 1 lemon
• 2 tomato
• 50 g pickled turnip

Steps

1. Finely mince onion and parsley by hand for the best texture; combine with ground lamb, allspice, cinnamon, pepper, and salt.
2. Knead the mixture firmly for 3-4 minutes until it becomes paste-like and holds together well.
3. Divide into 8 portions, mold each around a flat metal skewer into a long sausage shape about 15cm long.
4. Grill over high heat, turning every 2 minutes, for 8-10 minutes total until charred on the outside but still juicy inside.
5. Make tahini sauce: whisk tahini with lemon juice and water until smooth and pourable.
6. Slide kafta off skewers onto warm flatbread, add sliced tomato, pickled turnip, and drizzle with tahini sauce.
