Reviews
If you like lamb this sausage recipe is wonderful. We use to get this type of sausage in Seattle and then the store went out of business. I tried the recipe by chance. I put the meat in pita bread with tomato slices and lettuce and my husband has informed me 3 times of how tasty it was. This is a man that is very honest as to if he likes something and for him to have this reaction, for me this recipe is a keeper.
