1 pound ground pork
1 large onion, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vinegar
½ pound caul fat
10 skewers

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop the vegetables, mix the spices, and prepare the pita pockets before you start cooking. This will save you time and make the cooking process more enjoyable.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your pitas will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful sausage, and creamy feta cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them soggy.
  • Season to taste: Taste the pita filling before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or oregano.
