Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine 2.2 lb of ground beef or lamb with a grated onion, 3 grated garlic cloves, ¼ cup plain yogurt, and 2 tablespoons tomato paste. Season with salt, pepper, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 tablespoon paprika, and 2 teaspoons oregano. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix until sticky.
- Divide the meat mixture into 5 equal parts, placing each between sheets of parchment paper. Roll each into a ½ inch thick rectangle.
- Lift the edge of the parchment and roll the meat rectangle tightly into a log shape, securing each log with the parchment.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place wrapped meat logs on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked and browned.
- After baking, let the meat logs rest for 5 minutes. Unwrap and slice them thinly for serving.
- Warm pita or tortillas, arrange sliced meat on top and add toppings like lettuce, red onion, and pickles. Drizzle with sauces, and serve.
