Here's my entry for the innaugural #steemitsandwichcontest, hosted by the sandwich man himself, @jaybird.
Lamb Kebab with Mango, Beet, and Feta in Homemade Pita Bread
Ingredients
- Grilled chunks of lamb, marinated overnight in a combination of olive oil, vinegar, and oregano, rosemary, and thyme from the garden
- Finely shredded beets from the garden, splashed with lemon juice and olive oil
- Feta cheese
- Mint leaves from the garden
- Ripe mango, cut into long thin strips
- Adventure
Additional info
I'll make a post soon about the homemade pita breads - I used olive oil that I infused with garlic and rosemary overnight, which makes the entire pita carry those flavors. The lamb pieces are from a whole leg of lamb that I butchered up into kebab sized chunks, skewered, and grilled outside. The beets and mint were pulled up from the garden the same morning. This sandwich has a great balance of tangy feta, sweetness from the mango, and earthiness from the beets, with the freshness of mint and big meaty chunks of lamb. The chewy, still-warm pita pockets just put this sandwich over the top.
Oh darn! It looks like I just missed the cut off for the contest! Oh well, better late than never right?

Ahhhh, why did you have to post this just as I'm about to get my lunch?
I've just got a cheese and tomato sandwich. Can we swap 😊
Oh mannn so sorry! But not really because this sandwich was so good, I don't think I'd be able to share. :)
A very nice contribution, which I take with for "My Steemit Favorites Part 21.

Thanks so much for your entry, it is a bit late, but I will be featuring some of the null entries in the Who Won post and this one is definitely going in there!
Week 2 is up and running. The rules have changed ever so slightly including the deadline. Please read em so we can have your next entry go for the gold or silver!
One thing I noticed is that you did not have which week # on your sign. I think that is more important than the date for keeping organized.
Not sure. Any helpful suggestions are always appreciated in order to make this contest run smoother!
I look forward to your next creatioN!
Ahh thanks so much @jaybird - and so charitable of you to feature us misfit 'null' entries at some point. I swear I can follow rules...most of the time.
Gotcha for the week number for my next entry's signage!
Gonna go check out week 2's post now! Thanks again :)))
hahaha np. And wicked!
Your post always get me drooling and hungry. Another beautifully done post @jaymorebeet. Can't wait for the pita bread post, and you may have not made the time cut but this post gets my vote.
Hahah Yess! All I was hoping for was your vote ;) thanks a ton @lifemovedbysteem!
Looks and sounds really delicious!! :) It's so cool that your beets and mint were pulled up from your garden! Can't get more organic than that! :)
Steem on, babe! :)
Thanks!! Too late to count but still one of the best sandwiches I've made :)....now on to next week actually following rules!
Wow, that looks SO gooood. BTW...Dry ice is only $1.79/lb, and the postal office recently added special sandwich mailing boxes in their kiosk repetwoisal, so keep me in mind ( :
Hahah! Those postal workers are so creative. I thought so when they made that special donut box for me last year. ;) I'll definitely keep you in mind.
