Directions

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 12 meatballs.

In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot and almost smoking.

Add the meatballs and sauté 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.
