1 pound ground lamb
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 English muffin pulsed in a food processor until you have breadcrumbs
1 egg lighten beaten
4 green onions thinly sliced, divided
4 pita breads
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional
1/4 cup freshly chopped tomatoes for garnish
1 lime for spritzing
salt and pepper To Taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400.
In a large bowl combine the lamb, raisins, cinnamon, breadcrumbs, egg, 3/4 of the green onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Using your hands, form meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and coated with nonstick spray.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the meatballs, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until they are starting to brown.
Heat the pita bread in the microwave until soft and pliable.
Place 3 to 5 meatballs on each pita bread. Dollop with yogurt and garnish with remaining green onions and tomatoes. Squirt with lime and enjoy!
