Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground lamb
- 4 Whole wheat pita bread
- 1 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Tomato, thinly sliced
- 0.5 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Mint leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground lamb with minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the lamb mixture into small patties, roughly 8 in total.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the lamb patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, chopped mint leaves, and fresh lemon juice to make a zesty yogurt sauce.
Gently warm the whole wheat pita breads in a dry pan for 1 minute on each side, or until soft and pliable.
To assemble the sandwiches, take a warm pita and spread a generous amount of the yogurt sauce inside. Place two lamb patties in each pita.
Add slices of red onion, tomato, and cucumber to the sandwiches, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable meal. Enjoy your Low Fat Mediterranean Lamb Sandwich!
