- 100 grams Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic Cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Mint, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, shredded mozzarella, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped mint, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Cut each gluten-free pita bread in half to form two pockets.
Stuff each pita half with a generous amount of the lamb mixture, making sure to spread the filling evenly inside.
Brush both sides of each stuffed pita half with olive oil.
Place the stuffed pita halves onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the lamb is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a side of yogurt dip or fresh salad.
