Kofta Pita Sandwiches

August 23, 2017 by Dominique

Hands down one of my favorite sandwiches is the Gyro. The mixture of beef and lamb meat, with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and tzatziki sauce is a flavor combo like no other. Since, I unfortunately don’t have a tall vertical rotisserie, making them at home would prove to be a challenge! Last week, I shared the recipes for Kofta, and these meatballs taste just like the shaved meat in Gyro sandwiches. I couldn’t help but to turn them into Kofta Pita Sandwiches. This was definitely the best equivalent to a homemade Gyro, I have ever had.

Instead of using tzatziki sauce, I made a goat cheese and olive oil sauce to drizzle over these babies. I really love goat cheese with meat because of the creamy sharp flavor it gives. Also, another twist was that we used whole wheat pita to make it slightly more healthy. If you prefer, you can use white flatbread.
