OK, halal for most of your meat. But, where do you go when Jonesing for some
p'ok chops? Not down to Honest Abdul's, for sure.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Arni Exohiko ("Surprise" Lamb, Country Style )
 Categories: Greek, Meats, Main dish
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      2 tb Olive oil
      8    Loin lamb chops
     18    Sheets commercial phyllo
      6 tb Butter; hot and melted
      2 c  Peas; cooked and drained
     16    Potato balls; parboiled
     16    Cherry tomatoes; peeled
    1/2 lb Kasseri cheese; in 8 pieces
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
    3/4 c  Chopped fresh parsley
      1 pn Dried oregano
 
  *Note: 3/4-inch slices leg of lamb may be used instead of lamb chops.
  
  In a heavy skillet, heat the oil or butter and fry the lamb over high
  heat, turning frequently.  Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes,
  then remove from the heat.  Meanwhile, unroll the filo sheets and
  cover with a damp towel.  In a small pan over low heat, have the
  butter hot without letting it brown. Remove two sheets of filo, brush
  with hot butter over the first, then cover with the second sheet and
  brush it with butter.  In the center of the buttered filo place 1
  lamb chop, 2 tablspoons peas, 2 potato balls, 2 cherry tomatoes, and
  a slice of kasseri.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper, a heaping
  tablespoon of parsley, and a pinch of oregano. Fold the filo around
  the lamb and vegetables like a sealed parcel.  Place, seam side down,
  on a buttered baking pan (approximately 11 x 15 x 3 inches) and set
  aside while you repeat the procedure with the remaining ingredients
  to make 8 "parcels".  Brush hot butter on the tops, then bake in a
  moderate oven (350 F) for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden in color.
  Remove from the oven and arrange on a warm platter or on individual
  dishes.  Serve warm, with a fresh-cooked or raw vegetable salad.
  
  Note: The vegetables and herbs may be varied.  Substitute green beans
  or lima beans for peas, use thyme or basil instead of oregano.  Arni
  Exohiko is frequently prepared using buttered waxed paper, parchment
  paper or aluminum foil rather than with filo.
