I can't think of a better way to kick off grilling season

Ground lamb, grilled alongside colorful veggies.
All destined to be wrapped in a warm piece of naan
A bit of labna and sumac provided the extra touch of flavor that took them to the next level ..
This Memorial Day weekend, scoot the burgers and hot dogs over just a bit. Make a spot on the grill
As with any original recipe from my husband, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Enjoy!

ps: If you're wondering, what the heck are these mystery spices anyway? And labna? Never heard of it?
Yep, I was floating in the same boat until a few months ago, introduced via a recipe typical of Israel which used a number of these middle-eastern flavors. I've since learned to love my favorite ethnic grocery store.
