- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 2 Tbsp. minced garlic, divided
- 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp. cardamom
- ¼ tsp. allspice
- ¼ tsp. cumin
- 1 ½ tsp. salt – divided
- ½ tsp. pepper
- 1 ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (use Culina Plain & Simple for a thick non-dairy option)
- 2-3 Tbsp. dill
- ½ English cucumber, diced
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- Skewers
- 4 pita bread
- 2 cups chopped romaine hearts
- Optional toppings – diced red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives
Directions
- Prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, add the Greek yogurt, dill, diced English cucumber, 1 Tbsp. minced garlic, lemon juice, 1 tsp. salt, and olive oil. Stir to combine. Cover and place into the refrigerator.
- In a bowl, add the ground lamb, onion, 1 Tbsp. minced garlic, parsley, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, cumin, ½ tsp. salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Divide the mixture into eight equal parts. Form into an oblong shape, and while holding in one hand, press a skewer onto the top of the meat, down the middle, leaving open skewer at the top and bottom. Then, form the meat around the skewer. Continue until you have eight kebabs.
