Ingredients
- 12 lamb (lean ground)
- 4 pitas
- 2 garlic (cloves)
- 1 garlic clove
- 180 ml yogurt (plain)
- 60 ml lemon juice (fresh)
- 50 gr tomato (diced)
- 36 gr cucumber (diced)
- 26 gr lettuce (shredded)
- 24 gr onion (minced)
- 2 gr mint (fresh chopped)

COMBINE THE LAMB with the garlic, onion, oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, red pepper, lemon juice and salt and mix just until blended. Form the lamb into dozen meatballs. In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot and almost smoking. Add the meatballs and saute over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Drain the lamb balls well. Combine the garlic, tomato, cucumber, mint, lemon juice and yogurt in a small bowl. Cut open 1 end of each warmed pita, fill with shredded lettuce and 3 meatballs. Spoon the sauce over the meatballs and serve.
