Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lean ground lamb, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix just until combined to ensure tenderness.
Step 2
Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval patty roughly the same shape as your pita pockets, about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick.
Step 3
Heat half of the olive oil (7-8 ml) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 71°C/160°F.
Step 4
Remove patties from the pan and set aside on a plate to rest. Drain excess fat from the pan if necessary, leaving a thin coating for flavor.
Step 5
Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced peppers and onions. Sauté over medium-high heat until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred at the edges.
Step 6
While vegetables cook, warm the pita breads in a toaster or low oven. Slice open the tops to create pockets.
Step 7
Spread a generous tablespoon of tzatziki inside each pita. Insert a lamb patty and top with the hot sautéed pepper and onion mixture.
