Really yummy! We used the leftover lamb & beef mixture (without seasoning) for hamburgers.
Serving Suggestions:
Ingredients:
Loaves:
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 oz. ground lamb
6 oz. ground sirloin
Cooking spray
1/8 tsp. ground red pepper

Instructions:
Sauce:
1 cup peeled shredded cucumber
1/4 cup vertically sliced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (8-ounce) carton plain fat-free yogurt

Remaining ingredient:
4 pocketless pitas

Preparation:

Preheat broiler.
To prepare loaves, combine first 8 ingredients, stirring well. Divide mixture in half, forming each half into a 6 x 3-inch loaf. Place each loaf on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 7 minutes on each side or until done.

Sprinkle loaves with red pepper. Cut each loaf crosswise into 1/8-inch slices.

To prepare sauce, place cucumber and onion onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels. Cover with additional paper towels; let stand 5 minutes.

Combine cucumber mixture, mint, and next 5 ingredients (mint through yogurt), stirring well. Divide meat slices evenly among pitas; top each serving with about 1/4 cup sauce.
