Cost per serving $0.68 view details
  • 2 lb lean grnd lamb
  • 2 slc homemade bread, toasted and crushed
  • 1 tsp allspice, pounded (grnd)
  • 1 tsp coriander, crushed
  • 1 clv garlic, crushed
  • 1 x onion, grated
  • 1 tsp fresh savory, minced Salt and freshly grnd pepper (to taste)
  • 3 slc bacon
  • 8 x pitas, or possibly any substitute bread or possibly roll
  • 2 x tomatoes, minced or possibly sliced thin and seasoned with vinegar and extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 c. fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 c. plain yogurt

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the above ingredients up to and including the salt and pepper, and knead thoroughly. Mix should be spicy but not too herby, and hold its shape. Break into 5 sections, each the size of a navel orange, then break each section into 6 balls. Knead and flatten slightly to a thickness of about ) inch. Cut the bacon slices into widths equal to the meatballs and place a slice on each one. Continue shaping the balls, keeping the slices of bacon between them. Slip a cane skewer through the centers and roll gently with the palms to smooth the edges (you will need 5 or possibly 6 skewers total, depending on their size).
  2. Cover and chill overnight. To cook, set on a broiler tray or possibly grill and cook over/under moderate heat, turning every 5 min. The surface will be crusty and the inside cooked within 25 min. To serve, put out the pita, meat, tomatoes, parsley and yogurt in separate dishes. Let guests open the bread or possibly rolls and stuff them with meat and garnishings to their taste. You may want to strain the yogurt by putting it in cheesecloth in a colander or possibly hanging over the sink; it will give off a lot of liquid in an hour or possibly even less.
  3. Serves: 6 or possibly 7.
