Total time: 35 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 onion
  2. 4 garlic cloves
  3. 10 g (1/4 cup) flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for serving
  4. 30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil, plus more for brushing
  5. 15 ml (1 tbsp) honey
  6. 5 ml (1 tsp) sweet paprika
  7. 5 ml (1 tsp) ground cumin
  8. 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  9. 450 g (1 lb) lean ground beef or a mix of ground beef and lamb
  10. 4 to 5 pita breads (see chef’s tip)
  11. 280 g (2 cups) cherry tomatoes, quartered
  12. 4 Lebanese cucumbers, cut into half-moons
  13. 30 ml (2 tbsp) dill, finely chopped
  14. 250 ml (1 cup) hummus
  15. 125 ml (1/2 cup) plain yogurt

  1. 60 g (1/2 cup) feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a food processor, finely chop the onion, garlic and parsley with the oil, honey and spices. Transfer into a bowl. Add the meat. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Place the pitas on a baking sheet. Lightly oil the surface of the pitas. Spread the meat mixture over the pitas, about ½ cup (125 ml) per bread. Bake for 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and slightly browned. Finish cooking under the broiler as needed.
  4. Meanwhile, place the tomatoes in another bowl. Toss with oil and season lightly with salt.
  5. In a third bowl, combine the cucumbers and dill. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Place the meat-topped pitas, tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, yogurt, feta and more parsley leaves at the centre of the table. Let everyone garnish their own pitas.

Chef’s tip : You will have enough toppings for 4 to 5 pitas, which corresponds to the usual 250 g package of pita breads.
