This recipe came to my e-mail inbox from , and I think it was originally from the January 2004 issue of Cooking Light. I usually substitute chicken for the lamb, which is also very good, but lamb is the traditional Greek meat to use. I only add tzatziki and tomatoes to my pita, but you can add anything you'd like. You can purchase store-bought tzatziki and pita bread, or I (and many others) have recipes for them on here as well. The pita bread in this recipe is meant to be rolled around the filling like a taco, not stuffed like a pocket (the taco way with pita bread is also more Greek, I believe, whereas the pita pocket way is more Lebanese or other regions). These are really easy, really good, and go well served with vegetable fritters or roasted vegetables. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped |
1 teaspoon garlic, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 lb boneless leg of lamb, cut into (3/4-inch) |
tzatziki, sauce (optional) |
2 roma tomatoes, diced (optional) |
leafy lettuce (optional) |
4 pita bread rounds |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. 2. Combine rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and lamb, tossing to coat. 3. Add lamb mixture to pan; sauté about 4 minutes or until done. 4. Divide lamb mixture evenly among each of 4 pitas, and add tzaziki or anything you'd like. 5. Enjoy! |
