Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb

1/2 cup finely chopped mint, plus more for serving

2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses

2 tablespoons hot paprika

2 tablespoons finely grated onion

3 garlic cloves, finely 
grated
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning

1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper, plus more for seasoning 

1 cup plain yogurt (not Greek-style)

2 tablespoons tahini

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon sumac, plus more for garnish
 Canola oil, for brushing

4 stainless steel skewers

Warm pita, for serving

Lemon wedges, for serving


Combine lamb, mint, molasses, paprika, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Using clean hands, shape lamb mixture into 8 (1-inch-thick) oval patties. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Whisk together yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and sumac in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with sumac.
Step 3

Preheat a grill to medium (350°F to 450°F), or heat a grill pan over medium; brush grate with oil. Thread 2 patties onto each skewer; season lightly with salt. Grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and slightly pink in center, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to platter. Serve with pita, mint, lemon wedges, and yogurt sauce.
