Dorothy Wiedeman of Eaton, Colorado serves this tasty variation on the traditional hamburger at backyard get-togethers. Similar to Greek gyros, the herbed ground beef patties are stuffed in pita bread with a yummy cucumber lettuce mixture. Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed |
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean) |
2 cups shredded lettuce |
1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped |
1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat plain yogurt |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted |
6 whole pita breads |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the onion, garlic and seasonings; crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties.
2. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumber, yogurt and sesame seeds. Top each burger with lettuce mixture; serve with pita breads. Yield: 6 servings.
