  • Pita with lamb, Greek salad, and tzatziki is a hugely popular Greek dish. The name may sound exotic, but it's really quite simple. Pita is just a flat, white, unleavened flatbread — similar to the lavash many of us know. Start with the mysterious tzatziki sauce: take half a cucumber, finely chop it, and put it in a blender with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, a few mint leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend it. That's the whole "mystery," despite the fancy name. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator. Now for the vegetables: chop the mint, slice the tomatoes, and cut up the remaining half cucumber, the lettuce leaves, and the olives. Put them all in a bowl and add the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of oil. Now the lamb: cut it into pieces and season with salt and pepper. Set the meat in a pan, drizzle it with oil, and bake it in the oven (use whatever temperature you'd normally use for roasting meat). Once the lamb is cooked, slice it thin. Take your pitas — they serve as both the wrapper and the "plate." Warm them in the oven or microwave first, then fill them generously with the salad and meat. Serve the sauce on the side. Your pita with lamb, Greek salad, and tzatziki is ready — give this easy recipe a try!
