Steps:
- Preheat a cast-iron grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Slice the sausages lengthwise and open them like a book. Remove the casings and press the sausages until flattened to about 1/4 inch thick. Combine the cumin and oregano in a small bowl. Rub the cut-side of the sausages with the spice mixture. Brush the hot pan with oil and add the sausages, seasoned-side down, and cook each side until the sausages are browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Toss the tomatoes and their juice with the lettuce in a medium bowl. Stir the yogurt, lemon juice, harissa and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in another bowl until smooth.
- Warm each flatbread in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side. Spread some of the yogurt sauce on the bread and then top with the tomato-lettuce mixture and sausage. Serve the extra sauce on the side.

- Combine all the ingredients, cover, and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
PORK GYROS
I found this recipe, entitled "Pork Gyros with Yogurt-Tomato Sauce, Red Onion, and Arugula" on another recipe site some time back. It appeared in the June 2006 issue of Bon Appetit. Ice Cool Kitty posted the recipe for the sauce portion of these gyros, Recipe #386313 386313. Please see her recipe for making the Yogurt-Tomato sauce portion. I am posting the gyros portion so that other chefs will know what the recipe had looked like in its entirety. DH and I made these for dinner two nights ago and thought they were very tasty. Prep time does not include overnight marinating of the pork tenderloin, nor the time it takes to make the yogurt-tomato sauce as Ice Cool Kitty gave an estimate for that in her recipe posting. While the original recipe says it makes 12 pitas, and that is how I am posting it, DH and I found it to make about 5 large pitas.
