Time 26m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound ground lamb
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped mint
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon adobo seasoning
1 (5.3 ounce) container fat-free Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 pita bread rounds
1 tomato, chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix lamb, shallot, mint, paprika, cumin, salt, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, and adobo together gently in a bowl. Form lamb mixture into 8 cylinders approximately 1x3 inches in size, using about 3 tablespoons of mixture per cylinder.
  • Reduce grill heat to medium; transfer lamb to grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from grill.
  • Mix yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice together in a bowl until sauce is uniform.
  • Spread 1/4 of the yogurt sauce down the middle of each pita; top with lamb, tomato, feta cheese, and lettuce.

The lamb was a bit dry, but the marinade was flavorful. I think I would cook the lamb for less time next time.

This sandwich was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said the lamb was cooked perfectly and the marinade was delicious.
