Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the fresh parsley.
~5 min - 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
~5 min - 3
Form the lamb mixture into elongated kofta shapes, about 3-4 inches long. This recipe makes approximately 16-20 kofta.
~10 min - 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kofta for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred.
~10 min - 5
While the kofta are grilling, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, lemon juice, and sriracha sauce until smooth.
~3 min - 6
Warm the flatbreads slightly on the grill or in a dry skillet.
~2 min - 7
Assemble the wraps by placing 4-5 kofta onto each warm flatbread. Drizzle generously with the spicy yogurt sauce and serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra flavor, let the lamb mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before forming the kofta.
- Serve with extra chopped parsley or sliced tomatoes for a fresh addition.
