LAMB PITAS

My sister-in-law is in love with this recipe.  It came about during a conversation she and my husband had during Christmas Eve dinner, which happened to be our Mediterranean feast.  We were talking about coming up with a simpler and faster way to prepare ground lamb, similar to making meatballs.  This is what we came up with.  

Now, I can't remember exactly what I did the first time I made it this way.  This version will probably taste even better since it's an updated one!

LAMB PITAS

with

CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD 

and Tzatziki

INGREDIENTS

3 lbs ground lamb

3 T olive oil

1 onion, chopped

4-5 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 a bunch of parsley, minced

2 T oregano, minced

Salt and Pepper to taste

Saute onion and garlic in oil.  Add ground lamb.  Add herbs and spices at the end when lamb is cooked through.

EASY!

For the salad

Chop up 2 tomatoes and 2 cucumbers (take the seeds out).  Mix it in with your favorite salad or slice up some romaine lettuce.

Open up a pita bread and stuff it with the salad.  Drizzle the tzatziki on top and add the lamb.
