Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground lamb and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
½ medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper

For the tzatziki

1 cup full-fat greek yogurt
½ medium english cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil

For serving

4 pita breads
2 medium roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse until very finely minced, about 10 to 12 pulses. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible — the mixture should feel nearly dry.
2
Add the ground lamb, wrung-out onion and garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Process continuously for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and paste-like, with no visible chunks of meat.
