1. 1Combine ground lamb, water, onion, parsley, oregano, garlic, pepper, salt, cumin and fenugreek and mix thoroughly. Shape into loaf and wrap tightly in plastic film to compress the mixture.
2. 2Refrigerate for 2 hours. To cook in the oven: preheat oven to 350F. Unwrap meat mixture and place on a cookie sheet or shallow baking dish and bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
3. 3Cut the round pita breads in half. Fill each pocket with slices of meat, thin onion rings and tomato. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, mustard and red wine vinegar and blend until smooth.
4. 4Slowly add the olive oil, beating until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Stir the yogurt until creamy and add it to the other mixture.
5. 5Pour a little of this dressing over the contents of the pita pockets and serve.
