Traditional Gyro Meat

Submitted by: The Dread Pirate Paramour 
This Greek/Lebanese style meat loaf is sliced and served with pita bread, tzatziki, and tomatoes for a delicious gyro that is the closest I've come to emulating my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. The preparation time seems long, but most of it is resting time, so you can be doing other stuff!

A great deep dish meat pie made with potatoes, carrots and peas in a rich gravy. Lamb chicken or pork can be used in place of beef. A great recipe for leftover meat!

Made from a blend of cooked bulgur wheat, chopped mint, and onions stirred into ground lamb, then cooked as small patties, kibbeh is a favorite traditional dish in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iraq. Serve kibbeh with tahini, a sesame seed paste.

Where I live loose meat sandwiches are know as made rights, this is a Mediterranean take on this favorite. You can use tzatziki sauce (cucumber/yogurt sauce used on Gyros) in place of the feta sauce to give it a more gyro kind of touch.

Before my husband and I got married, he found this recipe on the Patak's Indian food website. We made it and loved it. But when I went to find it later, I couldn't! So this is a combination of what I remember from the recipe and other Keema Matar recipes that I found on-line. 

Leek and Meat Fritters

Submitted by: Dan 
Fragrant and oniony, cooked leeks coalesce with ground lamb or beef, eggs, matzo meal and spices to make delicious fried fritters. Be sure to wash the leeks thoroughly before cooking to remove any garden grit.

This is how they make loose meat sandwiches in the restaurants. They are always moist and savory.
