Ingredients

• 1) 14 wooden skewers
• 2) 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
• 3) 0.25 cup red onion shredded and squeezed of all liquid
• 4) 0.25 cup fresh parsley minced
• 5) 0.25 cup fresh mint minced
• 6) 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
• 7) 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8) 2 tablespoons Garam Masala
• 9) 1 pound ground lamb
• 10) Greek flat bread
• 11) Shredded lettuce
• 12) Diced tomato
• 13 Tzatziki sauce

Steps

• 1) Soak skewers in water for two hours or longer.
• 2) If using an outdoor grill, heat to medium heat. Or use a ribbed grill pan on your stove.
• 3) In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients except lamb until combined. Then add lamb and mix just enough to combine without over working the meat.
• 4) Form into seven oval shaped patties.
• 5) Place two skewers side by side into each. (Two makes it easy to flip on grill).
• 6) Gill over medium heat flipping halfway through to a nicely seared exterior and cooked to your liking on the inside.
  We cooked ours to medium which took about 12-15 minutes.
• 7) To serve, place one or two patties on open flat bread and top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and a generous drizzle of Tzatziki .

Notes

• 1) Add garlic.
• 2) Spice mixture might be too intense, consider halving garam masala and mint.
