LAMB SKEWER PITAS



Lamb Skewer Pitas image

One of my favorite things to get at a Greek restaurant is souvlaki. You can get this dish with chicken, pork or lamb. My mother cooked a lot of lamb growing up, so when I order souvlaki, I always get lamb.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup finely chopped English cucumber
1/4 cup grated onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 pound ground lamb
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 clove garlic, grated
4 to 6 pitas
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
1 teaspoon zaatar
1 cup thinly-sliced English cucumber
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 small red onion, thinly sliced (but not too thin) into half-moons
1 large beefsteak tomato, cut into half-moons
1/2 head fresh fennel, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, sour cream, cucumber, onion, dill, vinegar, cumin, honey, salt, cinnamon, pepper and garlic until combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
  • Make the lamb skewers: In a large bowl, combine the lamb, oil, coriander, cumin, salt, allspice, cinnamon and garlic until evenly coated. Divide the meat into 6 portions and form into logs. Thread each log onto a skewer, then transfer to a plate, cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat until very hot. Brush the griddle with oil. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • To serve: Brush the pitas with oil and sprinkle with the zaatar. Add them to the griddle with the lamb and cook until toasted and warm, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cucumber, cilantro, parsley, oregano, onions, tomato and fennel. Add the vinegar and 3 tablespoons oil and toss to combine. Season to taste. Remove the meat from the skewers and place on the pitas; top with some salad. Serve with the lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce.

LAMB OR BEEF KEBAB PITAS WITH TZATZIKI



Lamb or Beef Kebab Pitas With Tzatziki image

Because of the use of ground meat, this is what we call a kebab here. Delicious! They can be oven-roasted, but I highly recommend you do these on the bbq.

  • To prepare this Greek lamb souvlaki recipe, cut the meat into equal sized (3 cm) chunks and set aside.
  • Prepare the marinade for the lamb kebab. In a large bowl add the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, the herbs and spices and season with freshly ground pepper – don’t add salt yet. Whisk all the ingredients to combine. Add the meat and the chopped onions and blend to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, chill and let marinade for at least 4 hours. It’s best to leave the meat for the lamb souvlaki marinade overnight, to soak up all the wonderful flavours. (If you are at home blend the marinade once in a while).
  • In the meantime prepare the tzatziki sauce. Pour in a blender the olive oil and grated garlic and blend until combined. Remove the skin and the seeds of the cucumber and grate it into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and leave aside for 10 minutes. Wrap the grated cucumber in a towel and squeeze, in order to get rid of the excess water. In a bowl, add the cucumber, the blended garlic and oil, the yogurt, 1-2 tbsps of red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and blend, until the ingredients are combined. Store the tzatziki sauce in the fridge and always serve cold.
  • To assemble the lamb kebab you can either use wooden or metal skewers. For this lamb souvlaki recipe, you will need about 10 skewers, depending on the size of each souvlaki. If using wooden skewers, cut them to fit your griddle pan and soak them in water. (This will prevent them from burning.) Lift the chunks of lamb out of the marinade and thread the pieces, comfortably, on the skewers. At this point don’t forget to season your lamb souvlaki with salt.
