directions

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, mix lamb (beef or turkey), breadcrumbs, mint or cilantro, cumin, salt, pepper and egg. Mix in cooked onions and garlic. Shape mixture into 16 meatballs (about 2 inches in diameter).
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet; place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add meatballs. Cook, turning, until browned all over and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Cut tops off pitas and open, forming pockets. Fill each with four meatballs, sliced cucumber and tzatziki to taste.
  • To make Tzatziki: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to blend. Chill until ready to serve.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
