Pita With Hummus and Lamb

I like to cook, and I like doing meal planning. And I also like going out to restaurants, to try dishes that are new to me, and to get more ideas for my own cooking and meal planning. When I remake a restaurant dish, it is usually with my own spin on it.

I like all kinds of restaurants, and all kinds of cuisines. American, Italian, Greek, French, Mediterranean, Eastern European — as long as the restaurant has good food, it’s all good!

I like Middle Eastern restaurants, the tasty dips, the grilled meats, pitas — all are delicious. When I am out at a Middle Eastern restaurant, I like to get shawarma sandwiches. I tried making it myself – with my own spin, of course – and it came out great, so here it is.

My take on lamb shawarma is a pita sandwich with lamb patties. The onion, parsley and spices make the lamb patties extremely delicious and flavorful. And when you put the lamb patties on a pita, and add hummus and tomato and cucumber salad, to them, this becomes a very tasty dish!

How To Make Pitas With Lamb Patties and Hummus

Peel and wash the onion. Wash parsley.

Grate the onion. Chop the parsley on a cutting board.

In a Mixing Bowl combine lamb, onions, parsley, eggs, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.

Form the lamb patties. I make them flat, as you can see in the picture. Heat up the canola oil in the saute pan and fry the patties. First, fry them for 4-6 minutes on one side. Then turn them over and fry until done.

To make pitas, put a pita on a dinner plate. Spread some hummus on the pita, top with two patties and top them with some tomato and cucumber salad. Enjoy!
