Shawarma-Spiced Beef Meatball Pitas
with Cucumber Salad & Feta Sauce
Obsessed with meatball heroes and ready to break out of your usual routine? These sumptuous sandwiches are just the thing. Here, we’ve ditched the marinara sauce and rolls for savory, earthy shawarma-style spices and soft, pillowy pitas. You’ll load in spiced pre-cooked beef meatballs and a lemony cucumber-tomato salad, then drizzle with tangy, creamy feta sauce for a hot, hearty pita sammie in a quick 15 minutes.

Instructions
• Wash and dry produce.
• Trim and thinly slice half the cucumber (all for 4 servings) into rounds. Halve tomato lengthwise; thinly slice into half-moons. Halve lemon.
• In a medium bowl, combine sliced cucumber, tomato, half the oregano, juice from whole lemon, and a pinch of salt (all the oregano and juice from both lemons for 4 servings).
• Pat meatballs dry with paper towels; cut into quarters. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add meatballs, Shawarma Spice Blend, and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings); cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced and meatballs are browned and warmed through, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
• In a small bowl, combine feta, sour cream, 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Wrap pitas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 10-15 seconds; halve crosswise.
• Fill pitas with cucumber salad, meatballs, and as much feta sauce as you like. (TIP: To fit in more filling, lay pitas flat before stuffing!) Divide between plates and serve.
