  1. For the Chicken Kefta:
    -1.5–2 lbs ground chicken (700-900 g)
    -2 tbsp tomato paste
    -8 garlic cloves, minced
    -2 tsp smoked paprika, 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp turmeric, 2 tsp garlic powder
    -1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
    -1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
    -1 large or 2 medium yellow onions, grated + squeezed dry*
    -On top before baking: 4 tbsp olive oil
    For the Roasted Garlic:
    -2 garlic heads, 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp salt
    For the Fresh Salad:
    -1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
    -1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
    -1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
    -1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper & 2 tsp sumac
    -Juice of 1/2 lemon
    Roasted Garlic Paprika Sauce:
    -Roasted garlic cloves, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tsp paprika + 1 tsp pepper

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Slice the tops off two garlic heads, drizzle with olive oil and salt, wrap in foil, and roast for 45–60 minutes until golden and soft. While the garlic roasts, prep the kefta.
    2. Grate the onion, squeeze out all liquid with paper towel or cheesecloth. (This prevents watery kefta.) In a large bowl, combine chicken, tomato paste, minced garlic, spices, parsley, cilantro (if using), and the grated onion. Mix with your hands for 2–3 minutes until sticky and well combined.
    3. Spread onto the sheet pan in a 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick rectangle. With a knife, score into 1-inch strips (2.5 cm). Drizzle evenly with 4 tbsp olive oil.
    4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, then broil 2–5 minutes until golden and slightly crisp on top.
    5. While baking, toss onion, tomatoes, parsley, salt, pepper, sumac, and lemon juice in a bowl.
    6. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a bowl, mash, then mix with mayo, yogurt, lemon juice, paprika, and pepper until smooth.
    7. On lavash or pita, slather sauce, add 1–2 strips of chicken kefta, top with salad. Roll tight. For extra magic, crisp the wrap in a lightly oiled skillet for 1-2 mins per side.

  9. Who really even has sumac? “Oh, I’ll just grab that out of the pantry!” No. These chop and slap cooking pretty boy influencers with the same cut and paste video format are getting out of hand and more ridiculous by the day. This is about trying to get monetized and not about actual cuisine. Views and interaction are what he focuses on when he checks his YouTube account. By the way, you’re welcome for this free one, kid.
