MEDITERRANEAN MADE RIGHTS (LOOSE MEAT SANDWICHES)



Mediterranean Made Rights (Loose Meat Sandwiches) image

Where I live loose meat sandwiches are know as made rights, this is a Mediterranean take on this favorite. You can use tzatziki sauce (cucumber/yogurt sauce used on Gyros) in place of the feta sauce to give it a more gyro kind of touch.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground lamb
½ cup minced onion
1 teaspoon minced lemon zest
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup lemon juice
1 cup water
1 (6 ounce) container plain yogurt
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
salt and pepper to taste
6 pita bread rounds

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the lamb, and cook until it begins to crumble. Add the onions, and continue cooking until the lamb has browned and the onions have softened, about 5 minutes more. Drain off any excess fat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir in 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir 1/4 cup lemon juice into the water, then pour 1/4 cup of this mixture into the lamb. Cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated, then stir in another 1/4 cup, and cook again until mostly evaporated. Continue adding the liquid 1/4 cup at a time until you have used all of it. This should take about 30 minutes in all. The meat should look moist, but not be sitting in liquid.
  • While the meat is cooking, make the feta sauce by placing the yogurt, feta cheese, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest into a blender. Puree until smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Spoon the lamb mixture onto warmed pita bread. Top with the feta sauce to serve.

TASTY LOOSE MEAT SANDWICHES



Tasty Loose Meat Sandwiches image

I discovered the concept of the loose meat sandwich from watching an episode of the Roseanne show about 18 years ago. Loose meat sandwiches are a tasty change once in a while. The seasoned ground beef is easy to make and several seasonings are added to give the meat a unique but mild taste. Loose meat tastes best when served on a fresh kaiser or poppy seed roll. This is one of my favorite recipes due to the fact it is so inexpensive, easy to prepare and it tastes great.
