Ingredients

  • 2 Lbs Ground Beef
  • 2 Lbs Ground Lamb
  • 1 Whole Yellow onion minced
  • 1 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Chili ufra pepper
  • 2 Tsp Turmeric
  • 1 Tbsp Sumac
  • 2 Pinches Saffron soaked in warm water
  • 2 - 4 Whole Pitas cut in 1/4s

Instructions

  1. Begin by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix really well to combine.

    Take the meat, and fill the pita pocket with as much meat as you can fit in. Place it on to a very hot grill. I used my green egg. First, cook the exposed meat side of each pita. Once well browned, turn the pitas flat to get grill marks. Finish by moving the the stuffed pita to the side and cook with indirect heat until done.

    Serve and enjoy!
