Ingredients (serves 8)



4 Lebanese bread rounds

1 cup plain Greek-style yoghurt

1 teaspoon ground cumin



Lamb kofta

800g lean lamb mince

1 large brown onion, finely chopped

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

1 egg

3/4 cup dried breadcrumbs

olive oil cooking spray



Tabouli

2 large tomatoes, finely chopped

1/2 cup burghul (cracked wheat)

1/4 cup lemon juice

4 cups chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup olive oil



Method



1. Make tabouli: Place tomato, burghul and lemon juice in a bowl. Stand for 30 minutes or until burghul has softened. Add parsley, mint, onion and oil. Toss to combine.



2. Meanwhile, make lamb kofta balls: Place lamb, onion, cumin, allspice, parsley, egg and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Using hands, roll tablespoons of mixture into balls. Spray a barbecue plate or chargrill with oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Cook kofta in batches, turning, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until cooked through.



3. Cook bread on barbecue for 2 minutes each side or until heated through. Tear into large pieces. Combine yoghurt and cumin in a bowl. Place bread and yoghurt mixture on a platter with kofta. Serve with tabouli.



Notes

Tip: You could serve baba ganoush, tahini dip or hommus with the bread instead of the yoghurt.
