Notes: To slice cucumbers quickly, use a food processor. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground lean lamb |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon minced fresh or 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves |
about 1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 cucumbers (each 3/4 lb.) |
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt |
3 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
4 pocket breads (about 6 in.), cut in half crosswise |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix lamb with garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Shape mixture into 8 equal oblong patties, each about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Place patties on a rack in a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until meat is browned on each side and just barely pink in center (cut to test), 7 to 10 minutes total.
3. While lamb patties cook, peel cucumbers and thinly slice. Mix slices with yogurt, mint, and lemon juice to make a cucumber salad.
4. On each of 4 plates, place 2 lamb patties, 1/4 of the cucumber salad, and 2 pocket bread halves. Tuck meat into bread, adding cucumber salad and salt to taste.
