3/4 Tsp (4 mL) ground coriander
3/4 Tsp (4 mL) paprika
1/2 Tsp (2 mL) each salt and freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS
Preheat barbecue to medium heat; grease grill.
Combine lamb, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, pepper and oil. Using hands, gently mix until just combined. Form into three 4-inch (10 cm) patties; let stand 20 minutes.
Grill patties 6 to 8 minutes, turning halfway, or until cooked through. Transfer to plate; crumble into small pieces using two forks. Sprinkle with parsley and mint; set aside.
Grill flatbreads 30 to 60 seconds per side or until golden with grill marks; transfer to cutting board.
Divide hummus between flatbreads; spread evenly to cover. Top with lamb and cheese. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Cut each flatbread into five pieces; squeeze lemon over top. Serve immediately.
TIP: You can substitute PC® Soft Unripened Goat's Milk Cheese and crumble it yourself if you prefer.
