2 cloves garlic (, crushed)
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp coriander
2 tsp paprika
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp cayenne pepper ((this is a bit spicy, reduce to taste or leave out))
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 black pepper
1 cup yogurt (, Greek or other thick plain)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic (, crushed)
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt and pepper (, each)
8 skewers ((Note 1))
8 flatbreads (small)
Shredded Red Cabbage, Carrot and Mint Salad ((Note 3))
OR shredded lettuce, tomato and onion slices ((Note 3))

Steps:

Yogurt Sauce: Combine the yogurt sauce ingredients and leave in fridge for at least 20 mninutes for the flavor to develop (overnight even better!).
Koftas: Grate the onion into the bowl using a standard box grater. Add remaining Kofta ingredients and mix well with your hands.
With damp hands, divide the meat into 8 equal pieces and push and shape the meat onto 8 skewers. Make them smooth (looks nicer, pictured!) or a bit nubbly (more surface area to brown!).

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

Ingredients

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup tahini paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 small red beet, peeled, thinly sliced
1 large turnip, peeled, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced
20 ounces ground lamb (50 percent shoulder, 50 percent leg)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, minced
1 bunch parsley, stemmed, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 medium brioche buns
Lettuce leaves
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced onions

Steps:

For the tahini-yogurt sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, salt, lemon zest and juice and 1 tablespoon water. Cover and reserve in the refrigerator.
For the pickled turnips: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 1/2 cups water with the cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, bay leaves, garlic, beets and turnips. Bring to a quick boil to dissolve the sugar. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve the turnips only; discard the beets, bay leaves and pickling brine.
For the garlic butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and garlic and cook until fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the parsley and mix well. Set aside in a small bowl.
For the lamb kofta burger: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the ground lamb, garlic, onion, parsley, allspice, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients together to evenly distribute the spices, being careful not to overmix. Divide into six equal portions and shape into a round, tight patties, about 4 inches wide.
Place the patties on the grill, spaced 3 inches apart to prevent flare ups. Grill for 3 minutes on the first side to develop a crust. Flip, and cook on the second side until medium-well, 2 minutes. Set aside.
Brush the cut sides of the brioche buns lightly with garlic butter and toast on the grill until golden and crisp, 5 to 10 seconds. Flip, and toast the outsides until lightly toasted, another 5 to 10 seconds.
To assemble: Layer the bottom buns with a burger, some tahini sauce, pickled turnips, lettuce, tomato and onion. Cover with the top buns and serve immediately.
