General
Method
Step 1
Mix ground lamb, oregano, 2 garlic cloves, 3/4 teaspoon salt and season generously with black pepper.
Step 2
Form the meat into 12 (1.5 ounce) oval patties. Make sure to flatten them well, less than ½” thick and let sit at room temperature until ready to cook.
Step 3
To make the tzatziki, mix the yogurt, scallions, cucumber, lemon juice and remaining garlic clove. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
To cook the lamb, heat a medium cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Drizzle about a teaspoon of vegetable oil into the pan. Working in batches of 6 sear the lamb for 2 minutes on one side then turn and continue to cook another 2 minutes, until deeply browned on the bottom. Remove from the pan and let rest on a plate as you continue with the remaining lamb.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 400 and place pitas right on the grates. Heat until just warm, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
To assemble, spread tzatziki on the pita, top with lettuce, tomato, and lamb. Drizzle harissa over top.
