Honestly, you won’t need all of this lamb for six sandwiches, unless you really load them up with meat. But often you have to buy the whole leg, and why not have some leftovers for more sandwiches the next day? Don’t fret if the muscles separate when you trim the meat; just grill them separately. (Of course, the smaller ones will take less time to cook, so take care not to overdo them.)
This is a recipe where great ingredients will really shine, so if you have the option, choose a creamy French or Greek feta and tomatoes and arugula from a farmers market (or your own back-yard garden, if you can swing that).
| 3 to 4 | lb. butterflied boneless leg of lamb |
| 6 | garlic cloves, 4 thinly sliced and 2 grated or minced to a paste |
| ~ | Kosher salt and pepper |
| 2 | cups plain Greek yogurt |
| ⅓ | cup extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1 | Tbsp. fresh lemon juice |
| ¼ | cup chopped fresh mint |
| 3 | medium red bell peppers (about 8 ounces each) |
| 6 | sheets (9 inches wide) mountain bread or lavash |
| 1½ | cups diced or crumbled high-quality feta (about 7 ounces) |
| 2 | medium-large, ripe but firm tomatoes (about 8 ounces each), seeded and chopped (about 2 cups) |
| 4 | cups (loosely packed) baby arugula (about 2½ ounces), washed and dried |

Made this with lamb leftover from Easter dinner. Yum, yum, yum! So good my five-year-old wanted thirds! We used spinach instead of arugala, and pita pockets, but other than those changes, it worked very well!
