Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/3 lbs lean ground lamb
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 tbsp minced fresh mint
1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro (optional)
3 tbsp fine fresh breadcrumbs , from firm white bread (or whole wheat)
1 large egg white, slightly beaten
3 oz feta cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup)
4 regular size pita bread
3 oz feta cheese, crumbled
2 large ripe tomatoes, very thinly sliced
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
3 tbsp minced fresh mint leaves
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Mix meat mixture ingredients until well blended.
Shape into four 1 1/4 inch thick patties.
Let stand 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
Add patties and cook 16 minutes or until well browned on both sides and no longer pink in centers, spooning off any excess fat as it accumulates.
Cut patties in half.
Tuck halves into halved pitas and add cheese, tomato and yogurt sauce, or serve patties with naan, tomato and yogurt sauce on the side.
Enjoy!
