Lamb and Sweet Onion Pitas with Orange-Cucumber Salad

Scott Phillips

Servings:4

Ground lamb is often a bargain buy. Here, it’s put to delicious use in an all-in-one meal of stuffed pita sandwiches and a bright, citrusy salad.

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1个中等甜洋葱,纵向一半,切成1/4英寸厚
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1磅地面羔羊
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 large oranges
  • 1 small English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbs. coarsely chopped fresh mint
  • 2 pitas, halved and very lightly toasted
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt

Preparation

  • Heat 1-1/2 Tbs. of the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add about three-quarters of the onion, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the onion to a small bowl; set aside.

    Cook the lamb, cinnamon, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in the skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes; drain well.

    同时,将剩余的生洋葱切碎,然后转移到一个大碗中。从橙子中切出果皮和髓。在碗上工作以收集果汁,将橙色片段从膜上割下。切成部分。加入橙子,橙汁,黄瓜,醋,薄荷和剩余的1汤匙。油到切碎的生洋葱;折腾结合。调味,用盐和胡椒粉调味。

    Fill the pitas with the lamb and cooked onions. Add some of the orange-cucumber salad and a dollop of yogurt. Serve the remaining salad on the side.

    This recipe is great in concept, but needs a little tweaking. My lamb was not very "lamby" so I'll try Australian lamb instead of US lamb next time. Flavors seemed a little flat so will probably up the cinnamon a bit & add some garlic for depth. Maybe could use some heat?? Love the orange salad with the lamb; wouldn't have thought of that combination. Might serve it on salad with toasted pita on the side to avoid the collapsing pita problem.
