Recipe Introduction

suggest using split pita breads in this recipe, but you can use any bread you like, especially if you choose to serve it open-faced.

List of Ingredients

1 pound (450 g) ground lamb
1 large onion, chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) pine nuts (pignoli) or chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 - 6 pita breads, split
Chopped fresh mint or parsley for garnish

Brown the lamb in a non-stick skillet over moderate heat. Add the
onion, garlic, and zucchini and saute until the vegetables are tender,
about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, pine nuts, cinnamon, cumin, salt,
and pepper, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the
pitas in a 300F (150C) oven for about 5 minutes, or wrap in a dish
towel and microwave for about 1 minute. Fill the pitas with the lamb
mixture and garnish with fresh herbs. Serves 4 to 6.
