"This recipe is ideal for a griddler or a George Foreman type grill. It is also fine for a regular BBQ. What I like about the griddler it squeezes douwn on both sides helping to form that crust. Cooking the raw lamb inside the pita creates a lovely crunchy crust. This recipe is from Bon Appetit with some modification by me. Using the Griddler it takes apprx 7 minutes. Regular BBQ about 5 minutes each side. Serve these with a mango chutney or mint jelly on the side You may make the lamb filling up to 8 hours ahead of time but don't stuff the pitas until just before cooking."
