            -JUDI M. PHELPS
       2 lb Leg of lamb; ground once
       2 tb Fresh tarragon; chopped
       2 ts Ground coriander seed
       1 ts Allspice
       2 tb Red wine
     1/4 c  Pine nuts
       1 tb Salt
     1/2 ts Pepper
       5    Feet narrow sausage casing*
            Butter and olive oil
       6    Individual pita rounds
       1    Bunch coriander; chopped
  
   *Note: If you wish to skip the casing step, form the sausage meat into
   patties and saute until brown.
   
   To make the sausage meat, combine the first eight ingredients in a
   large bowl.  Mix well with your hands. Using a sausage stuffer or a
   pastry bag, stuff the casings, twisting every 3 inches.
   
   Saute the sausage in a mixture of half butter and half olive oil until
   brown, turning occasionally.  Serve in pita rounds, sprinkled with
   plenty of chopped coriander. Makes 6 servings.
   
   Served at the North Star Bar, Philadelphia.  The recipe comes from the
   owner's aunt who used to cook for Arab dignitaries visiting the UN.
