Oregano lamb pita from I Dream of Dinner (So You Don't Have To): Low-Effort, High-Reward Recipes (page 321) by Ali Slagle

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute mini seedless cucumbers for Persian cucumbers, and flatbreads for pita bread.

    Very good recipe and quick, like others have mentioned. I used fresh oregano I had growing and one pound each of lamb and beef. I also cooked on our blackstone, which still gave it that delicious crust. Accidentally used my red onion earlier this week, so that got left out ?? overall, nice weeknight friendly dinner that was well received by 3 out of 5!

    Used labneh instead of goat cheese. Simple and yummy!

    Easy and fast - used store-bought naan heated in the toaster. Served with an ottolenghi cucumber lemon herb salad. Everyone loved it.

    This comes together, all in, in less than 15 minutes. The bang for your buck for that time and ingredient investment is incredible. Could this be fancier or more complicated? Probably. Does it pull off a miraculous feat for the 15 minutes and 7 ingredients it has. Absolutely. Would totally make again.

    This is delicious ! Comes together quickly. Don’t skip the lemon zest/goat cheese. Wouldn’t change a thing
