Ingredients

• 1 kg minced lamb
• 1 yellow onion, finely diced 
• ½ bunch parsley, finely chopped 
• 1 tbsp salt 
• 2 tbsp black pepper 
• 2 tsp Lebanese 7-spice (baharat)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil 
• 6 frozen shallot pancakes (available at Asian grocers) 

Salad

• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 2 spring onions, julienned
• 2 tsp black vinegar 
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• Pinch ground Sichuan pepper

To serve

• 1 bunch coriander, leaves picked 
• ¼ cup crispy chilli oil 
• ¼ cup toum

Instructions

1. Shape kofta mixture about 6 inches long, 1 inch wide. Add vegetable oil to a large frypan over medium-high heat and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
2. Fry the shallot pancakes in the residual oil in the pan for 1-2 minutes. The pancake will puff up and go golden brown.
3. Toss all of the salad ingredients together in a small bowl.
4. Spread a generous amount of toum over the pancake, add the kofta and a spoonful of the crispy chilli oil. Top with coriander, salad, and a pinch of Sichuan pepper. Roll and serve.
