Moroccan lamb kebab is a grilled treat of ground lamb where the meat is mixed straight with harissa, cumin and mint. The aromatic mixture rests briefly to take on flavor, then it is shaped onto skewers and grilled until crisp. It is served in warm pita with a cooling mint yogurt, harissa and fresh vegetables. It is a quick dish that smells of North Africa.

Step by step process

Preparing the kebab mixture

1
For the Moroccan lamb kebab, grate the onion finely and press the garlic. In a bowl, mix the ground lamb with onion, garlic, harissa, chopped parsley, ground cumin, paprika and coriander.
2
Add salt and pepper and knead the meat mixture thoroughly by hand for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and compact. Cover and rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
3
With wet hands, shape the mixture into elongated patties and thread firmly onto soaked wooden skewers. Brush a grill pan or grill with olive oil and heat to high temperature.
4
Grill the kebab for 3 to 4 minutes per side until evenly cooked and lightly charred. Grill for about 10 to 12 minutes in total. Do not overcook it.

Mint yogurt and serving

5
Prepare the mint yogurt: mix Greek yogurt with chopped fresh mint and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the flavors combine.
6
Heat the pita bread on a dry pan for a minute on each side. Place the kebab from the skewer into the open pita, add mint yogurt, harissa and sliced cherry tomatoes with cucumber.
