Time 1h53m

Yield 6 servings (makes roughly 12 kabobs)

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 (6-inch) wooden skewers
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for brushing
1 bag pita bread, at least 6 loaves
Tzatziki Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups Greek strained yogurt
1/2 cucumber, seeded and chopped
1 garlic clove
2 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to high. Soak skewers in water for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl combine lamb, scallions, onion powder, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, cumin, thyme, salt and pepper, to taste. Form meat around skewers, making an oblong sausage shape pressing and securing firmly. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Remove skewers from refrigerator. Brush grill with oil. Grill kabobs until charred on the outside and medium-rare on the inside, turning only once, about 3 minutes each side. Brush pita lightly with oil, and grill briefly on both sides to warm. Remove lamb kabobs from skewers and place 2 on each pita. Drizzle with Tzatziki Sauce to serve.
  • Add the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, hot sauce, lemon juice and zest in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

I've made these lamb kabobs several times now and they're always a hit. The lamb is always tender and juicy, and the tzatziki sauce is the perfect complement. I highly recommend this recipe!

These lamb kabobs were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground lamb and they were still very flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was also very good.
