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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Form the lamb mixture into small patties, roughly 8 in total.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, chopped mint leaves, and fresh lemon juice to make a zesty yogurt sauce.

Step 5

Gently warm the whole wheat pita breads in a dry pan for 1 minute on each side, or until soft and pliable.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Add slices of red onion, tomato, and cucumber to the sandwiches, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable meal. Enjoy your Low Fat Mediterranean Lamb Sandwich!
