- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 6 wooden skewers
- Kosher salt & pepper
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- olive oil
- 6 pitas
Directions
- Combine yogurt, mint and lime zest - set aside
- Heat grill to medium high
- Season lamb with salt pepper, and mix in cumin - then mold into hot dog shape around the top half of the skewers (or you could do meatballs)
- Brush lightly with oil, and grill until cooked through
- As they cook, combine tomatoes and onion - set aside
- When lamb is done, remove from grill but put on pitas to warm
- To serve, spread some yogurt sauce on a pita, add a lamb kebab and some of the tomato-onion mixture
