- 1 tsp Ground Cumin Buy: Ground Cumin · ₺61.99
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste Buy: Salt · ₺29.99
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, Ground Cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until well combined, but avoid overmixing.
- Divide the mixture into 8-12 equal portions. Shape each portion into an elongated kofta or a small patty, about 1-inch thick.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of Biryağ Sunflower Oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the kofta into the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the kofta for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until beautifully browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- While the kofta is cooking, gently warm the White Arabic Bread. You can do this in a dry pan, microwave, or oven for a minute or two until soft and pliable.
- To assemble your Shawarma Kofta Wraps, lay out a piece of warm Arabic bread. Spread a generous spoonful of Al Safwa Hummus with Tahini over the entire surface.
- Place 1-2 cooked kofta pieces in the center of the bread.
- Top the kofta with slices of fresh tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and Tukaş Jalapeno Pepper Pickle.
- Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the fillings for an extra zing.
- Carefully roll up the Arabic bread tightly to form a wrap. You can cut it in half for easier handling, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Shawarma Kofta Wraps! Afiyet olsun!
Pro Tips
- For extra flavor, you can lightly toast the Arabic bread on a grill pan or in a toaster oven until slightly crispy before assembling the wraps.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to your kofta mixture or a drizzle of hot sauce to your finished wrap.
