| 1. For the marinade: Combine first 8 ingredients. | 2. Cut lamb up into 1/2" thick, 1" wide, 3" long strips. | 3. Pour marinade over lamb and chill overnight. Turning occasionally. | 4. For the veggies: Combine the next 10 ingredients and let chill over night. | 5. Skewer meat. If using wooden skewers, soak for an hour in water first. About 8 slices per stick. | 6. Prepare grill. Add wood chips. Any type will do. | 7. Grill until meat is done, brushing often with marinade. Meat should be brown around the edges, but still a little pink in the center. Don't dry the meat out. | 8. Serve with warm pita. Guests should wrap a warm pita round the meat and pull the skewer our, then top their "taco" with marinated veggies, feta, and tzaziki. | 9. For the tzaziki: Place the yogurt in cheese cloth. Twist to bind and squeeze the yogurt. Place in colander over a bowl to drain for an hour or so. | 10. Peel and slice a cucumber down the middle, and spoon out the seeds. | 11. Grate the cucumber. Squeeze out as much juice as you can. | 12. In a bowl, mix the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, oil, salt, mint, and lemon juice. Let chill a few hours (over night is best). | 13. For the pita: Buy pita flat bread (whole breads without the pocket). | 14. Mix olive oil with paprika. | 15. Brush each piece on both sides with a little of the olive oil. | 16. Place on hot griddle and warm thoroughly (about a minute or so on each side). | 17. Serve warm. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
