directions
Prepare the Lamb
Trim lamb of excess fat and silver skin. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a bowl, add salt and mix. Add olive oil and toss to coat.
Make Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Let sauce sit for 10 minutes to blend flavors. Transfer to a small serving bowl and garnish with dill sprig.
Pita
Cut pita rounds in half. Wrap in foil and warm in the oven for 10 minutes at 300 degrees.
Grill Lamb
Heat a stovetop ridged grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, spray or brush grill with canola oil. Grill lamb cubes on both sides until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a sheet pan and cover with foil to keep warm. (Optional: Broil for 5 minutes all at once in the oven.)
Assemble
Put 1 piece of meat in each pita pocket. (Optional: Close pocket with a toothpick.) Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with the tzatziki sauce, topped with dill sprig garnish.
