Lamb Sandwiches With Middle Eastern Slaw

To make the Dressing: In a medium bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients along with 1/4 cup of water to make a smooth dressing.

In a large bowl, mix together the cabbage and carrots, and pour the dressing over the top. Mix well. Set aside for 20 to 30 minutes.

Lightly brush or spray both sides of the lamb chops with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the lamb chops over Direct Medium heat until medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.

Transfer the lamb chops to a cutting board. Cut the meat off the bones, and chop or shred it into small pieces. Add the lamb to the slaw.

Open the pita pockets and fill them with the lamb mixture. Serve immediately.
