a light tasty sandwich with a greek influence. We love making these when we are in the mood for a burger. Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork |
1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
2 tablespoons sliced green onions |
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon, rind of |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 small cucumber, sliced |
1 medium tomato, sliced |
2 6-inch pita bread or 2 6-inch flat bread, halved |
Directions:
1. In medium bowl, combine ground pork, 2 tablespoons of the yogurt, basil, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder and pepper; mix well.
2. shape mixture into 4 oval shaped patties, 1/2 inch thick.
3. In a small bowl, combine remaining yogurt, parsley, green onions, lemon peel, sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remamaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; mix well.
4. Set aside.
5. It is recommended to grill the patties covered for approximately 11 to 14 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in center.
6. We have cooked them in a skillet as well.
7. You have to be careful because the meat is lean and it tends to stick.
8. Place patties, cucumber and tomato slices topped with yogurt sauce in pita halves.
9. ENJOY!
