LAMB OR BEEF KEBAB PITAS WITH TZATZIKI



Lamb or Beef Kebab Pitas With Tzatziki image

Because of the use of ground meat, this is what we call a kebab here. Delicious! They can be oven-roasted, but I highly recommend you do these on the bbq.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 lb ground lamb (preferably leg, with all the fat) or 1 lb ground chuck
1 small red onion, finely minced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or 2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon dried oregano (well-rubbed between your fingers)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1 cup Greek yogurt (no other yoghurt will do) or 1 cup sour cream
1 garlic clove, crushed to a paste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
5 fresh mint leaves, minced
1/4 cup fresh dill, minced
1/4 cup cucumber, grated, squeezed dry (unpeeled, washed)
salt
fresh tomato, thinly-sliced
thinly sliced red onion
minced parsley
grilled pita bread

Steps:

  • In a bowl, knead together all the kebab ingredients. Form into sausages of about 4-5 inches in length. Cover and leave in the fridge for about an hour.
  • Prepare the Tzatziki: In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (this is also great on the bbq).
  • Grill the kebabs until brown and crusty on all sides, and cooked through, about 12-14 minutes.
  • Get some grilled pita breads.
  • Place 1 or 2 kebabs inside each pita and add some slices of tomato, onion, some tzatziki, and a generous sprinkling of parlsey.
  • Roll up as tightly as you can without mushing up your sandwich, and wrap a piece of aluminum foil around bottom to catch any drips.
  • Enjoy one of the best sandwiches you've ever had.

EASY GROUND BEEF GYROS WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE



Easy Ground Beef Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce image

Easy Ground Beef Gyros are so delicious and ready in 30 minutes! Ground beef is perfectly seasoned with a greek spice blend then tucked inside of a soft pita with lots of fresh lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Finish the gyro with homemade tzatziki sauce and feta cheese.

Provided by Rachel Riesgraf

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, ground thyme, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 pitas
Optional toppings: lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, fresh dill and feta cheese
3/4 cup greek yogurt
3/4 cup grated cucumber ((I like to use an English cucumber))
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium-high heat and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the seasonings and 1/2 cup of water. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce has thickened around the meat, about 5 minutes.
  • While the beef cooks, make the Tzatziki sauce. Start by squeezing the excessive liquid out of the grated cucumber, discarding the liquid. In a small bowl, mix the grated cucumber with the remaining ingredients.
  • To assemble a gyro, layer a pita with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and ground beef, then finish with tzatziki sauce, fresh dill and feta cheese.
