Spiced Beef Kebab Sandwich
Ground beef spiced with cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, shaped into a flat kebab patty and grilled, tucked into warm pita with tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a garlic yogurt-tahini sauce. Finished with fresh parsley and lemon, this sandwich draws on Levantine street-food kofta traditions.
