Gyro Burger Pitas

I was looking through my blog and realized I had never made a recipe using lamb before...so sorry Little Bo Peep - I ate your friend!  This was GREAT for a week night meal - AND easy and quick to pack up for work lunches!!  Took about 20 minutes from start to finish.  My only advice - don't eat before doing bootcamp....your circuit partner might not like your workout burps...(sorry Kimmy!)  :)

OBB Cookbook

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground lamb (if this is hard to find, ask a butcher to grind 1 lb. of lamb leg or loin)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon dry onion
1 tablespoon Dijon or coarse grain mustard
3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon rosemary, dry or fresh and chopped
Tzatziki
4 whole wheat pitas or 6″ rounds of flatbread
Fresh tomato and thin onion slices

Gently combine lamb, garlic, onion, mustard, salt, pepper, vinegar, oregano, and rosemary with your hands and shape into 4 oblong patties.

Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side and remove from heat. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.

Place on pitas or flatbread and add onions, tomatoes, and Tzatziki. Fold like a taco and serve immediately. For easy serving and clean-up, wrap in aluminum foil.
