Lebanese kebab (kebab bil lahme)

Instructions

1. Grate the onion and finely chop the parsley. Drain off the excess juice from the grated onion before adding it to the meat.
2. Mix the minced meat with the onion, parsley, cumin, paprika, sweet chilli, salt, pepper and cinnamon.
3. Knead for 4 to 5 minutes until you have a smooth paste, then let it rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.
4. Divide the paste into 8 portions and shape each one into a long cylinder around a wet skewer, pressing firmly.
5. Grill the kebabs on a barbecue or in a very hot grill pan for 10 to 12 minutes, turning them, until they are nicely browned.
6. Open the breads, fill them with the kebab, thinly sliced tomatoes and cucumber, then drizzle with olive oil. Serve straight away.
