Ingredients

For the koftas:

• 500 g lamb mince

• 1 small brown onion, finely diced

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp ground sumac

• 2 large tomatoes, cut into wedges

• 1 red onion, thinly sliced

• Olive oil

• Salt & pepper

For the homemade tzatziki:

• 1 cup Greek yoghurt

• ½ cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water

• 1 garlic clove, finely grated

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & pepper

To serve:

• Flatbreads

• Fresh parsley or mint (optional)

Method

1. In a large bowl, mix lamb mince, grated onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, sumac, salt and pepper.

2. Shape into kofta-style logs by pressing flat and cutting lengthways.

3. Place koftas on a lined baking tray. Scatter tomato wedges and sliced red onion around them.

4. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season.

5. Roast at 200 °C for 20 minutes, until koftas are cooked and tomatoes are soft and caramelised.

6. Meanwhile, make the tzatziki by mixing yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

7. Warm flatbreads and fill with koftas, roasted tomato and onion.

8. Top generously with homemade tzatziki and scatter with herbs.
