Middle East-inspired skewers are quite the meal when tucked into Grilled Greek Pitas along with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and Yogurt Dip (see below). Eat them with a knife and fork or make them a hands-only supper.
Ingredients
Preparation
In large bowl, mix together garlic, onion, bread crumbs, oregano, 2 tbsp (25 mL) water, mustard, cinnamon, cumin, salt and pepper; mix in beef. Divide into 8 portions; shape each around 8-inch (20 cm) metal or soaked wooden skewer, pressing to form 4-inch (10 cm) sausage-shaped oval.
Place on greased grill over medium- high heat; close lid and grill, turning twice, until firm and no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes.

Yogurt Dip:
In small bowl, stir 1 cup (250 mL) Balkan-style plain yogurt with 2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh coriander, mint or dill. Makes 1 cup (250 mL).
