PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground lamb with dried oregano, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well incorporated.

• 2

  Shape the seasoned lamb into a tight, uniform log and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.

• 3

  Place the foil-wrapped lamb in an oven preheated to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes until the meat is firm and cooked through.

• 4

  While the lamb cooks, prepare the sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic clove, and lemon juice in a small bowl.

• 5

  Remove the lamb from the oven, unwrap, and thinly slice into strips; optionally sear the strips in a hot skillet for 1 minute to achieve crisp edges.

• 6

  Stuff the warm whole wheat pita with the sliced lamb, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber, then finish with a generous drizzle of the garlic yogurt sauce.
