Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients with the ground lamb.

  2. 2

    Stuff the seasoned lamb into 4-5 pita halves.

  3. 3

    Grill or pan-fry until the bread is crispy and the lamb is cooked through, or reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.

  4. 4

    If you’re unsure whether the lamb is fully cooked, transfer the lamb-stuffed pitas to an oven-safe skillet and place it in a preheated oven at 300°F until it reaches your desired doneness.
