Slice the meats thin. Grill them quickly to sear on both sides. They
should be thin enough to cook thoroughly with this treatment. Offer as
sauces:


Hommous- Make it a tad thinner by adding water. This one's a sauce, not
a dip.

Yogurt, plain and with grated cucumber.

Lemon, Olive oil, garlic, oregano.

Bechamel with added cheese. (Someone remind me of what that one's called.)


Also offer:


Shredded lettuce, carrots, and cabbage. Chunks of cucumber are nice.


As a side, ratatouille is good. Ratatouille is all in the news these
days. (Zucchini, eggplant, red and green peppers, onion, tomato sauce,
all stewed together.) This one is great in a crepe or pita bread.
