Step

• Step 1

  In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the pita bread. Form into meatballs, each about 2 inches in diameter. Skewer each meatball on a bamboo skewer, then wet your hands with cold water and mold the meat into a cigar shape about as large as a man's thumb. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight.
