I first whipped up ‘Lamb Sarma Beyti’ during the Altons BBQ World Masked Griller competition on Instagram. The theme was ‘Turkish,’ and time was tight. After some research, I found this dish that’s not only quick but perfect for the BBQ. Here’s how you can make this mouth-watering lamb kebab wrapped in filo pastry with a delicious sauce.

Instructions
-
Step 1: Prep the Lamb Kebabs
- Mix and Marinate: Combine 1 kg lamb mince with 80 g Shawarma seasoning. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Skewer Preparation: The next day, prepare your flat skewers.
-
Step 2: Cooking the Meat
- BBQ Setup: Establish a nice bed of coals in your BBQ. Today, we're using a Kamado Joe – Joe Jnr.
- Grill the Kebabs: Place the skewers over the coals, rotating every few minutes until the internal temperature reaches 71°C. Remove and keep safe.
-
Step 3: Wrapping in Filo Pastry
- Prepare the Pastry: Brush melted butter on filo pastry sheets.
- Wrap the Kebabs: Remove lamb from the skewers and place along one edge of a filo sheet, then roll tightly. Repeat for all skewers.
- Cut and Bake: Cut each wrap diagonally into 1.5 cm intervals, place on a baking sheet, brush with more melted butter, and bake until the pastry browns. If your BBQ doesn’t close, use an indoor oven at 200°C.

Step 4: Making the Sauce
- Combine Ingredients: In a pan, melt 2 tbsp butter, add 1 tbsp red pepper paste, 80 ml boiling water, 380 g passata, 1 tsp salt, and a pinch of sugar.
- Simmer: Mix thoroughly and simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Step 5: Plating Up
- Yogurt Sauce: In a bowl, mix 1 clove finely chopped garlic with 0.5 tsp salt and 350 ml Greek yogurt.
- Assemble the Dish: Place a dollop of yogurt in the centre of the plate, arrange the lamb kebabs around it, and pour the sauce on top.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish.
