Method
Heat a stainless‑steel pan over high heat until water beads and dances on the surface.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Water beads and dances on the surface. Ensure pan is hot enough before adding meat.
Add the ground lamb (about 6 oz) and sprinkle with salt, cumin seeds, or any other spices you prefer.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Meat is added and seasoned. Spread lamb evenly for even browning.
Let the meat brown on the bottom, then press and mash it in the pan so the rendered fat fries and crisps the meat.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Bottom is browned and meat begins to crisp. Press and mash to maximize crispy bits.
Just before the meat is finished cooking, drain any excess fat using a paper towel.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Meat is nearly cooked through. Drain excess fat to avoid greasy pita.
Split the pita pocket in half, spread roughly 15 g of hummus inside each half, add the cooked lamb, top with pickles or vegetables, crumble feta cheese over, and finish with a pinch of chili flakes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Pita is split and hummus spread. Layer ingredients evenly for balanced bites.
