Aussie Lamb Sandwich / Souvlaki

Peter J's Note:

Not a bad quick meal and feel free to substitute tomatoes for capsicum, and pretty much any other salad veggies you want. Maybe a few olives instead of the capers and the list goes on.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 200 g lamb steaks, cut into strips
• 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 1 tablespoon garlic, crushed
• 6 drops Tabasco sauce
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 100 g lebanese bread (about 30cm or 12-inches round)
• 2 cups mesclun
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 medium red capsicum, seeded and cut into strips (bell pepper)

Directions:

1. Place lamb strips, teriyaki sauce, garlic, Tabasco sauce, oil and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and marinate 30 minutes or so.
2. Cook lamb on hot BBQ plate turning occasionally until cooked as desired (about 5 minutes will do the trick).
3. Place Lebanese bread on a plate and top with mesclun mix and capers.
4. Put sour cream over top in three dollops and place capsicum strips to the side, followed by the cooked lamb strips over the middle.
5. Roll up starting by folding in at the top and bottom a little followed by tightly rolling at the sides.
6. Place under a sandwich press for 5 minutes or so to make the bread crispy. This is optional but tastes a lot better.
7. Enjoy with an ice cold beer in the other hand!

This was a yummy twist on a souvlaki..loved the teriyaki sauce and the capers! We added a little sliced red onion, but apart from that I had mine exactly as the recipe says, and hubby had his with tomato instead of capsicum. We did grill ours in the sandwich press, and I loved the toasted pita! It made a great Friday night dinner with a couple of drinks! Thanks for sharing! [Made for Aus/Nz Recipe Swap]
