Spiced Lamb in Pita
We had this last night although I served it with couscous and not in pita. Alex and I love lamb and this makes a nice change from lamb chops.
Spiced Lamb in Pita
10 ounces ground lamb
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 warm large pita breads
Combine first 8 ingredients in medium bowl; blend well. Shape lamb mixture into four 1/4-inch-thick patties. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb patties and sauté until brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Cut each pita bread in half; fill each half with lamb patty.
