TO MARINATE THE LAMB: In a large nonreactive mixing
bowl, place the lamb cubes.

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal
blade, combine all of the marinade ingredients and
process them into a puree. Pour the marinade over the
lamb. Using your hands, toss the meat to coat well.
Cover the bowl and allow the meat to marinate for at
least 4 hours at room\ temp, or refrigerate overnight.

Prepare the Red Pepper Mayonnaise and/or Tzatziki.
Cover and refrigerate.

In a bowl, toss the onion with vinegar. Cover and
refrigerate.

Prepare the Homemade Pita Breads. Wrap in foil and
keep warm in a 250ºF/120ºC. oven while you cook lamb.

Bring the lamb back to room temperature if it has been
refrigerated. Thread the cubes unto 8 metal or presoaked
10" long bamboo skewers.

TO COOK THE LAMB: In a grill, prepare a medium hot fire.
Place the lamb brochettes on the grill and cook turning
them frequently, until the lamb is medium rare, about 7
minutes. To a warm platter, transfer the brochettes and
remove the lambs from the skewers.

If you do not have a grill, the brochettes can be
broiled in the oven.

TO SERVE: Set out the pita breads, lamb cubes, mayonnaise
and/or tzatziki, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes at the
table for guests to help themselves.

To eat, spread some of the mayonnaise and/or tzatziki
over a pita. Distribute a few of the lamb cubes on the
bread and top with onions, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Sprinkle on a few drops of the hot sauce, if desired.
Roll up the pita and eat out of hand.

Makes 8 servings.
