Lamb Falafel

Steps

• 1

  For Tzatziki sauce, peel and seed cucumber and dice finely. Also mince garlic and parsley. Add to a bowl with yogurt and other ingredients and stir together. Store in fridge until needed. Can be made in advance.
• 2

  To make lamb balls, dice all veggies and stir them into ground lamb along with egg and breadcrumbs. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

  
• 3

  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier clean up and form large tablespoon-sized meatballs with lamb mixture. Flatten each ball slightly into a disc. You should get 20-24 balls out of the lamb mixture.
• 4

  Drizzle lamb balls with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake lamb balls at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
• 5

  To make a sandwich, separate pita bread so you can stuff it. Sometimes it helps to microwave the pita for 10 seconds.

  
• 6

  Add a few spoonfuls of tzatziki sauce to the pita along with a pinch of crumbled feta. Add 2-3 lamb balls to each half of the pita and garnish with another drizzle of sauce and a few sprigs of fresh mint. Serve immediately!
