INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE SOUVLAKI
FOR THE SAUCE
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 saute 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.

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
