Very nice idea that you can adjust depending on what vegetables need using. I added some leftover diced tomatoes, fresh basil and oregano (and chopped garlic into the lamb mixture too). You can have this with pita, or with a side of polenta or tabouli or couscous. Very flexible. THe balsamic vinegar is a must, though perhaps lemon could stand in if necessary.
