Lamb Sliders with Dill Greek Yogurt

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground lamb
• 2 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 2 large garlic cloves, grated
• 1/4 small onion, grated
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 large egg yolk
• 3 tbsp plain breadcrumbs (panko works well)
• 2 tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried dill
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 medium cucumber, very thinly sliced
• 15 mini pitas

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meat: In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, rosemary, oregano, garlic, onion, salt, egg yolk, and breadcrumbs. Mix well.
2. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 15 patties, slightly larger than the mini pitas.
3. Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Cook half of the patties until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more oil as needed.
4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Assemble the Gyros: Cut a slit in each pita to fit the lamb patty. Fill each pita with a lamb patty, a dollop of dill sauce, and cucumber slices.

Tip: For a more authentic flavor, consider grilling the lamb patties instead of pan-frying.;
