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

  • Preheat grill to high. Soak skewers in water for 25 to 30 minutes.

SPIEDIES



Spiedies image

Spiedies are the pride and joy of the Greater Binghamton area of N.Y. They are such an important part of life there that the biggest party of the year celebrates them - The Spiedie Festival and Balloon Rally brings thousands into the area every summer. Chunks of chicken (my favorite), pork, lamb (traditional) or venison are marinated in a mixture of oil, vinegar and herbs for 1 to 3 days, skewered, grilled and served on Italian bread with no condiments.
