Directions

To prepare: Place the lamb, salt, onion, cumin, allspice, cayenne, and cilantro in a food processor and work until well blended.
With wet hands, shape the mixture into 20 meatballs and cook over hot coals or in a nonstick frying pan for 10 minutes, turning frequently, until well browned.
Warm the pita in the frying pan for 1-2 minutes on each side, until softened and warmed through. Scatter lettuce leaves and the red onion over the pita. Arrange the meatballs on top and drizzle with a little yogurt. You can roll the flat breads up into a handheld snack (if desired). Serve with the lemon wedges.
