Preparation steps

1.

Soak roll in milk. Finely chop 2 cloves of the garlic. In a pan, heat oil and fry garlic until golden-brown. In a bowl, combine ground lamb, roll (squeezed to remove excess liquid), egg, garlic, herbs and chile. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Form the mixture into small meatballs. Thread 2 meatballs onto each skewer, alternating with bay leaves.

2.

Grill meatball skewers on a hot grill, turning occasionally, 10-15 minutes. Grill pita bread until golden-brown. For the dip: Peel remaining garlic clove and press through a garlic press into yogurt. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Transfer sauce to a small bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve the skewers and pita bread in a large bowl, with yogurt dipping sauce on the side.
