MEDITERRANEAN LAMB MEATBALL SANDWICHES WITH YOGURT SAUCE
Lamb meatballs are mixed with garlic, onion, paprika, cumin and mint. They are blended smoothly in a food-processor to make it kid-friendly by hiding the green mint. The meatballs are lightly fried and baked before adding to a pita with feta, lettuce, tomatoes and a tahini yogurt sauce.

MEDITERRANEAN MEATBALL SANDWICHES
I grow onions, garlic and herbs, so that's what I use in these saucy sandwiches. Make patties or form the ground beef into meatballs instead. -Alysha Braun, St. Catharines, Ontario
