My Big Fat Greek Elk image

Usually i make this using lamb meat and forming the meat into patties and grilling for greek burgers. However it was cold outside and i had elk-so i made this instead! all i have to say is hallelujah!!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small cucmber
1 1/2 c plain greek yogurt
1 clove garlic
3 Tbsp fresh chopped dill
1/2 c crumbled greek feta
1 medium eggplant
1/2 tsp oregano
salt and pepper
1/4 c olive oil
1 lb elk (or lamb) meat
3/4 c chopped fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 Tbsp cumin
salt and pepper
pita bread
chopped romaine
sundreid tomato

Steps:

  • 1. Make Tzatziki sauce: chop cucumber into small pieces. combine in a bowl with yogurt, garlic clove (minced), dill, and feta. stir and refrigerate until dinner time.
  • 2. Brown meat in large saucepan with a bit of olive oil. While browning, once meat is brown yet still very moist (don't drain), put in mint leaves, cumin, and salt and pepper.
  • 3. slice eggplant and cover with mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano. either grill or saute.
  • 4. cut pit in half, toast sides.
  • 5. Assemble: pit half, cover with tzatziki sauce, eggplant slices, romaine lettuce ground meat, sun dried tomatoes, more tzatziki, and other half of pita. GOOD TO GO!
  • 6. eat it as messy as it comes! you'll make a mess but its so worth it! As i stated in my explanation, instead of ground meat you could form patties and make it into a burger! enjoy!
