Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 medium, finely grated onion
  • 2 cloves, minced garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 pieces naan bread
  • 1 cut into wedges lemon

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground lamb, 1 grated onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix until just combined.

  4. 4

    Warm the 4 naan breads in the skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve the kebabs on the warm naan with lemon wedges on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs and cherry tomatoes if you like.

  6. 6

    Squeeze lemon over the kebabs before eating.
