Ingredients

• 4 pieces Gluten-free flatbread or pita
• 500 grams Ground lamb
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 unit Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 units Tomato, sliced
• 1 unit Cucumber, sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint, chopped
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground lamb with minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb mixture and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, around 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

While the lamb is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh mint in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt to taste. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the sandwich filling by slicing the red onion, tomato, and cucumber thinly. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.

Step 5

Warm the gluten-free flatbreads or pitas slightly in a dry pan or microwave to soften.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous layer of the yogurt sauce on each flatbread.

Step 7

Distribute the cooked lamb evenly among the flatbreads, top with sliced onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sprinkle with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 8

Fold the flatbread around the filling to form a sandwich and serve immediately.
