Instructions
In a food processor, blend the garlic cloves until finely minced.

Mix the ingredients together using your hands until well combined and evenly mixed.
Grease your hands with a little olive oil and shape the mixture into long, thin cylinders or patties, ensuring they fit inside the pita breads.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the patties for approximately 7-8 minutes per side, or until they are lightly browned and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the heat and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft.
Assemble the kebabs by placing a few pieces of cooked patties inside each warm pita bread.
Top with shredded lettuce, slices of tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
Drizzle with tahini sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
