1 cup cherry tomatoes
¼ cup fresh parsley
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp sumac
½ lemon

½ cup Greek yoghurt
½ lemon

2 tbsp ice water
1 tsp bell peppers
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

4 wraps

Method

Preheat the oven to 205°C. Slice the tops off two garlic bulbs, drizzle with olive oil and salt, wrap in foil and roast for 45-60 minutes until golden brown and soft. While the garlic is roasting, prepare the kefta.
Grate the onion and squeeze out all the moisture with kitchen paper or a piece of muslin (this prevents watery kefta). In a large bowl, mix the beef, garlic, spices, parsley, coriander (if using) and grated onion. Mix with your hands for 2-3 minutes until sticky and well combined.
Spread on the baking tray into a rectangle 1,25 cm thick. Use a knife to cut into 2,5 cm strips. Drizzle evenly with 4 tbsp olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 205°C, then grill for 2-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp on top. Take care when removing it!
Mix the onion, tomatoes, parsley, salt, pepper, sumac and lemon juice in a bowl.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a bowl, mash them, then mix with the yoghurt, lemon juice, tahini, water and spices. On the lavash/pitta, add the sauce, kefta and salad. Roll up tightly. Toast the wrap until crisp in a lightly oiled frying pan.
