Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped mint, chopped parsley, turmeric, and 1 tsp sea salt. Mix with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 1 minute — do not overwork. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press a shallow dimple into the center of each patty with your thumb. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2
While the patties rest, make the flatbreads. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, tapioca starch, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Add the olive oil and warm water, and stir until a soft, pliable dough forms. Divide into 4 equal balls.
