Instructions
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • In a medium bowl, combine beef*, cumin, ½ tsp oregano (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4), and pepper. (You’ll use the remaining oregano in the next step.) Form into 6-8 meatballs (12-16 meatballs for 4). • Place meatballs on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Roast on top rack until browned and cooked through, 14-16 minutes. Wash out bowl.
• While meatballs roast, quarter lemon. Quarter tomato; slice into ½-inch-thick quarter-moons. Trim and slice cucumber into ½-inch-thick rounds. • In bowl used for meatballs, whisk together remaining oregano, juice from half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Add tomato and cucumber; toss until well coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a small bowl, combine yogurt and feta. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season feta sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. • Toast pitas until warm and pliable; cut in half.
• Place hummus in a second small bowl. Transfer meatballs to a second medium bowl. • Arrange hummus, cucumber salad, feta sauce, and meatballs on a large board or platter. Add toasted pitas and any remaining lemon wedges to the board. Serve family style so that everyone can build their own pita sandwiches!
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
