Notes
- Use American Lamb for tastiest and freshest lamb you can get!
- This recipe is great to make using leftover lamb too! Think of a leftover roast you have and shred the lamb meat to use in these bowls.
- Chose the type pf pita bread depending on the shell you want, but make sure to load your toppings carefully if the shell is baked/fried.
- A pasta bowl is the perfect size bowl in general as it’s not too deep nor too shallow.
- Always flavor the base with sauce before loading on the toppings—I used Tahini sauce.
- Use your favorite toppings and don’t feel like you need to stick to these only.
- Pita bowls are best to serve right after assembling, however you can easily prepare each ingredient in advance. Assemble only before serving.
- Enjoy!
