Servings: persons

1 (16 ounce) container non-fat or 2% Greek yogurt
1/2 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and grated with a microplane grater
1 clove garlic, grated with a microplane grater (about 1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon zest and 1 tablespoon juice from 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 white or whole wheat pitas
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/4 pounds ground lamb
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup fresh or frozen English peas
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup fresh mint, thinly sliced

1
Combine the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and lime juice in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2
Toast the pitas in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned. Set aside on serving plates and cover with a clean dish towel to keep warm.
3
In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the lamb and stir until beginning to cook through and is still light pink, about 3 minutes. Add the peas and asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp and lamb is completely cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Serve the lamb mixture with pita, tzatziki, and chopped mint.
