Ingredients
- 300 g Diced lamb
- 2 tablespoon za'atar
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint finely chopped
- 4 pitta bread
- 100 g lettuce
- 4 tablespoon hummus

Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water. Preheat your grill (broiler).
- Put 300 g Diced lamb into a food processor and blend until it turns into mince. Stir in 2 tablespoon Za'atar and 1 tablespoon Fresh mint and mix well.
- Form into 6 sausage shapes and then thread onto the skewers. These are your koftas.
- Put under the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes turning frequently.
- Open up 4 Pitta bread and divide 4 tablespoon Hummus and 4 tablespoon Tzatziki between them. Stuff them with 100 g Lettuce and 80 g Roasted red peppers. Once the koftas are cooked, chop them up and add to the pita with 40 g Feta.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Make sure you soak the skewers before threading the lamb on to them.
- If preferred, you can use shop bought lamb mince.
- If Za'atar isn't your thing, then you could use another spice blend like ras-el-hanout or even a Mexican or Italian blend for something different.
- Stuff these pitas with any vegetables you like. It's a great fridge raid dish and a way to use up some vegetables.
- Want a bit of a kick to these? Add a drizzle of chilli sauce or even add some chilli flakes in to the kofta mix.
- Swap the feta for some grilled halloumi to change things up a bit.
