Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 whole leaves Lettuce leaves (Romaine or Iceberg)
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the kebab meat. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef or lamb, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, paprika, minced garlic, chopped onion, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until evenly combined.
Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into an oblong patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kebab patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and browned on the outside.
While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped mint leaves in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
Prepare the lettuce leaves by gently washing them and patting them dry. Use them as wraps for the sandwiches.
Assemble the kebab sandwiches by placing one cooked kebab patty on each lettuce leaf. Top each with slices of tomato and cucumber.
Drizzle the prepared yogurt sauce over each kebab sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb kebab sandwiches!
