Savory Mediterranean-Inspired Loose Meat Sandwich Recipe

Step 1

Begin by heating some olive oil in a generously sized skillet over a medium-high flame. Add the lamb and cook until it starts to break apart. Toss in the onions and continue cooking until the lamb browns and the onions turn soft, which should take about 5 minutes more. Remove any excess fat, then lower the heat to a medium-low setting. Time to add some zest! Stir in a teaspoon of lemon zest, along with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix 1/4 cup of lemon juice into water and pour a quarter of this mixture into the lamb. Let it simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates, then repeat this process with another quarter cup. Keep adding the liquid incrementally until it's all used up, which should take around 30 minutes. The goal is for the meat to be moist but not swimming in liquid.

Step 2

While the meat is sizzling away, whip up a delicious feta sauce. Blend together yogurt, feta cheese, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, and lemon zest until velvety smooth. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Set this delectable sauce aside.

Step 3

Warm up some pita bread and generously spoon the flavorful lamb mixture on top. Finish off with a dollop of the creamy feta sauce before serving. Enjoy this mouthwatering dish!
