In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, mayo, garlic, sugar, white pepper and salt.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 400°.

Step 3

In your food processor, fitted with the blade attachment, combine the onion, parsley, mint and garlic. Pulse until finely minced.

Place the skewers on a lightly sprayed wire rack that is set into a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Step 7

Bake the lamb kofta for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top and fully cooked through.

Once baked, top warm pita or naan with hummus, lamb kofta and any other toppings your heart desires. Drizzle with the garlicky white yogurt sauce and extra black pepper.
