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.

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.
