Step 1

Preheat the oven to 240°C or 220°C fan-forced.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine mince, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, chilli flakes, salt, pepper, parsley and bicarbonate of soda. Mix well until sticky and combined.

Step 3

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Press the mixture into a large rectangle about 1cm thick.

Step 4

Use a spatula or scraper to cut vertical strips through the mixture. Add shallow horizontal slits across each strip for the classic kebab look.

Step 5

Brush with olive oil and bake for 15-18 minutes until browned with crisp edges.

Step 6

While the kebabs cook, combine onion, sumac, lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Set aside to lightly pickle.

Step 7

Mix yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice and salt until smooth.

Step 8

Warm the flatbreads, then top with kebabs, garlic yoghurt, sumac onions, tomatoes and parsley. Serve immediately.
