Ingredients
12 (6-inch) wooden skewers
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for brushing
1 bag pita bread, at least 6 loaves
Tzatziki Sauce, recipe follows
Tzatziki Sauce:
2 cups Greek strained yogurt
1/2 cucumber, seeded and chopped
1 garlic clove
2 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Special equipment:
food processor- Preheat grill to high. Soak skewers in water for 25 to 30 minutes.

Form meat around skewers, making an oblong sausage shape pressing and securing firmly. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Remove skewers from refrigerator. Brush grill with oil. Grill kabobs until charred on the outside and medium-rare on the inside, turning only once, about 3 minutes each side. Brush pita lightly with oil, and grill briefly on both sides to warm. Remove lamb kabobs from skewers and place 2 on each pita. Drizzle with Tzatziki Sauce to serve.
