1 lb ground pork
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp black pepper
1 egg
pitas or wraps
feta cheese crumbles
sliced tomato
sliced red onion

sliced radishes
lettuce OR spinach
tzatziki sauce (recipe below)
preheat oven to 350 degrees.
put ground pork, bread crumbs, oregano, rosemary, mint, lemon zest, garlic, black pepper and egg in a bowl and mix well.
using about a tablespoon of the meat, roll into a ball and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. gently push down on the balls so that they are slightly flat. they sit better in the wrap/pita that way.
bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until they are no longer pink on the inside and golden brown on the outside.
when fully cooked, add to a pita or wrap with the feta and any of he veggies listed above. Or just serve as meatballs with a tzatziki dipping sauce.
