      1 ts Chopped fresh marjoram
           Fresh ground pepper to taste
      2    Spanish onions; cut in

      1    Garlic clove
           -- peeled and minced
      1 ts Chopped fresh oregano or
      1 ts Chopped fresh marjoram
      1 tb Fresh lemon juice
      1 ts Olive oil
           Salt and pepper; to taste

  *Use meat cut from the leg or shoulder.

  The morning before a barbecue, make marinade by combining
  oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, herbs and pepper in a medium bowl.
  Remove about 1/4 cup to mix with the onions.  Place lamb cubes in
  bowl with remaining marinade; toss to coat well.

  Place onions in small bowl and toss with reserved marinade.  Cover
  with plastic wrap and chill, up to several hours, turning several
  times.

  Meanwhile, make yogurt sauce by lining a medium bowl with cheesecloth
  and spooning in the yogurt.  Tie up edges of cheesecloth with string
  to form a pouch.  Suspend over bowl (tying from refrigerator rack
  above bowl), or place in a colander over bowl and let stand to drain
  several hours. Moisture will drip from the yogurt, giving it a
  thicker consistency. Mix drained yogurt with minced garlic, chopped
  herbs, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper.  Cover and chill.  Makes
  about 1 cup.
   Stack pita bread rounds into 2 piles and wrap each in foil, dull side
  out.

  To barbecue, heat coals or gas barbecue.  Remove meat from marinade,
