For the lamb kofte: mix the mince, spices, seasoning and yogurt in a bowl using your hands.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the kofte mix until cooked through. Allow to cool and then chop into a rough crumb.
For the herb salad: combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the kofte to the herb salad and mix.
For the date jam: put the dates and water in a blender and blitz until smooth.
To assemble: place a dollop of yogurt on one side of a shallow bowl and use the back of a spoon to spread the yogurt up one side of the bowl. Place small dots of harissa along the yogurt, sprinkle with sumac and drizzle with olive oil.
On the other side of the bowl, place the toasted flatbread half. Spread a generous helping of the date jam on the flatbread and then add a serving of the kofte. Top the lamb flatbread with pickled red onion and finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
