Grilled Lamb Sausage in a Pakistani-Style Sandwich with Caramelized Onions, Yogurt, Cilantro, Mint, and Toasted Cumin Seeds

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic, chopped with a little salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 4 cardamom seeds
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon water
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 yellow or white onions, very thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 6 Middle Eastern or South Asian flatbreads, such as pita breads, naan, or chapati
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 12 or so tender fresh cilantro sprigs
• 2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh mint leaves

1. To make the sausage, place all the ingredients in a medium bowl, and knead with your hands until thoroughly blended.
2. Use right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
3. To caramelize the onions, melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat.
4. Add the onions and stir to mix.
5. Cook slowly, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking, until partially golden brown, about 15 minutes.
6. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking, stirring often, until thoroughly browned and beginning to fry but still pliable, about 3 minutes.
7. Set aside until ready to serve.
8. Prepare a medium-hot grill.
9. Place the cumin seeds in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat or on a microwave-safe plate and toast until fragrant and beginning to pop, 2 to 3 minutes by either method.
10. Set aside.
11. Form the sausage into 3/4-inch balls.
12. Place them on the grill directly over the heat and cook, turning two or three times, until sizzling and firm, about 6 minutes total.
13. Transfer them to a plate and keep warm.
14. Place the flatbreads on the grill and char briefly on both sides.
15. To serve, place 2 or 3 sausage balls in the center of a flatbread.
16. Top with a generous dollop of yogurt, and then some of the caramelized onion, cilantro, and mint.
17. Sprinkle the toasted cumin seeds overall, fold, and serve.
