Ingredients

Method

In bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar and half of the salt; stir in red onion. Let stand for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.) Drain.

Meanwhile, in nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; cook lamb, breaking up with spoon, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain, discarding fat; transfer to bowl.

In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add yellow onion; cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder, coriander, cumin, pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and remaining salt; cook for 1 minute. Stir in lamb; cook until warmed, about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro.

Meanwhile, arrange pitas in single layer on baking sheet. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until crisp and golden, 6 to 8 minutes. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)

Spread lamb mixture on platter; top with hummus and pickled onions. Serve with pitas.
