Lamb Kofta Open-Faced Pita Sandwiches are a delicious and flavorful lunch or dinner. Ground lamb and beef is mixed with finely minced onion, parsley and mint with a plethora of dried spices. The kofta is baked on skewers and served warm pita with all the fixings.
In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, mayo, garlic, sugar, white pepper and salt.
FOR THE KOFTA:
Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).
In your food processor, fitted with the blade attachment, combine the onion, parsley, mint and garlic. Pulse until finely minced.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb, beef and onion/parsley mixture along with salt, coriander, cumin, allspice, white pepper, turmeric and cardamom.
Take a palmful of the lamb mixture and form oblong patties around metal (or wooden skewers that have soaked in water for at least 30 minutes).
Place the skewers on a lightly sprayed wire rack that is set into a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Bake the lamb kofta for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top and fully cooked through.
Once baked, top warm pita or naan with hummus, lamb kofta and any other toppings your heart desires. Drizzle with the garlicky white yogurt sauce and extra black pepper.
