directions

  • In large bowl, combine ground lamb with bread, allspice, coriander, garlic, onion, savory, salt, and pepper, knead thoroughly; mixture should be spicey, though not too herby and hold its shape.
  • Break into 5 sections, each as large as a navel orange, then break each section into 6 balls.
  • Knead and flatten slightly to a thickness of about 3/4".
  • Cut the bacon slices into widths equal to these balls, keeping slices of bacon between them.
  • Slip a cane skewer through centers and roll gently with palms to smooth edges; there will be 5 or 6 skewers depending on their length.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to cook, set on broiler tray or grill and cook under moderate heat, turning every 5 mins, the bacon will baste the meat.
  • The surface will be crusty and the inside cooked within 25 minutes.
  • To serve, put out the bread, meat, tomatoes seasoned with vinegar and oil, parsley, and yogurt in separate dishes.
  • Guests may open the pitas and stuff them with meat and seasonings.
