Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground lamb
- 0.5 Red onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 rounds Pita bread
- 1 Tomato
- 0.5 Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Hummus (dairy-free)

Instructions
Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped red onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the lamb mixture to the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
While the lamb is cooking, prepare the vegetables for the sandwich. Dice the tomato and cucumber, and roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, combine the diced tomato, cucumber, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Once the lamb is cooked, remove from heat.
Warm the pita bread rounds in a clean skillet or toaster until soft and pliable, about 2 minutes.
Spread a layer of dairy-free hummus on each pita bread round.
Place a portion of the cooked lamb mixture on each pita.
Top each sandwich with the fresh tomato and cucumber mixture.
Add a few pepperoncini peppers for an extra kick of flavor.
Fold the pita to encase the fillings or serve open-faced.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy your dairy-free Mediterranean lamb delight!
