Instructions
1
Prep
Finely grate the onion and finely chop the parsley and garlic. Combine ground beef with grated onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper; mix until tacky.
2
Chill
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes until firm enough to hold shape on the skewer.
3
Build
Divide into two portions and mold each around a flat metal skewer into a log about 1 inch thick, pressing firmly so it grips securely.
4
Grill
Cook over high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, until deeply charred outside and no longer pink inside when cut.
5
Char
Place tomato halves cut-side down on the grill for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and lightly blackened.
6
Warm
Lay flatbread on grill for 20 to 30 seconds per side until warmed and lightly marked.
7
Whisk
In a small bowl, whisk yogurt, tahini and lemon juice with a splash of water until smooth and pourable.
8
Plate
Slide beef off the skewer onto flatbread, add grilled tomato, drizzle with yogurt-tahini sauce and scatter with parsley.
