I saw this köfte-style kebab recipe on the excellent 'Jamie at Home' series and as I already had the [[Sumac|sumac]], I thought that I would recreate this dish on Cookipedia.

You will need a [[Food processor|food processor]].

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Trim all of the sinews and most of the [[Fat|fat]] from the meat and cut into 2.5 cm (1") cubes
| Add the pistachio nuts to a [[Food processor|food processor]] with a steel cutting blade and blitz to rice-sided pieces
| Add the meat cubes to the food processor.
| Add the [[Chili|chili]] powder, [[Cumin|cumin]], [[Sumac|sumac]] (or [[Lemon|lemon]]), [[Thyme|thyme]] and [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]].
| Pulse the [[Food processor|food processor]] until you have a pretty chunky [[Mince|mince]]. Don't puree it to a meat paste!
| Using about 5 or 6 metal [[skewers]], wrap a good handful of the meat mixture around each skewer.
| Refrigerate for an hour or two if you can as it will allow the meat to settle and the flavours to mingle.
| Cook the kebabs on a very hot [[Grill|grill]] or [[Barbecue|barbecue]] for about 4 to 5 minutes, turning now and again.
| Add the chopped [[Parsley|parsley]] and thinly sliced [[Onion|onion]] to a bowl and squeeze the juice from ½ a [[Lemon|lemon]] over the [[Onions|onions]]. Add a good pinch of [[Salt|salt]] and toss the mixture well.
| Warm the [[Tortillas|tortillas]], don't toast them.
| Season the [[Salad|salad]] leaves with [[Olive|olive]] [[Oil|oil]], the remaining [[Lemon|lemon]] juice and a pinch of [[Salt|salt]].
| Lay a selection of [[Salad|salad]] leaves on the [[Tortilla|tortilla]], add a dollop of [[Greek yogurt]] and a handful of [[Mint|mint]] and [[Onion|onion]].
}}

Add a pinch of [[chili powder]], [[sea salt]], [[cumin powder]], [[thyme]] leaves and a dash of [[olive oil]] to each kebab as you make them, roll up and serve. I prefer to make them up as I am eating them, but it's your call.

===Chef's note===
Although Jamie put the [[pistachios]] in with the meat, they stayed mainly in one piece (and kept falling off the kebabs), so I would be inclined, next time, to blitz them to small ''rice-sized'' pieces, before adding the meat.
