Step 1
Grate the 1 onion and squeeze out excess liquid. In a bowl, combine the grated onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper with the 1 lb ground lamb. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the top is browned.
Step 3
Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly. While the meat rests, warm the 4 pita breads in the oven or a dry skillet.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the 0.5 cup yogurt with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon if you have it. This is your sauce.
Step 5
Serve the sliced meat in the warm pita, drizzled with the yogurt sauce. Add lettuce, tomato, or onion if you like.
