| Last Update: 2/19 1:17 pm |
INGREDIENTS
Cooking Spray
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
2 or 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon (heaping) dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon canola or corn oil
2/3 cup chopped onion
1 ¼ cups chopped bottled roasted red bell pepper, rinsed and patted dry
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
½ cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 tablespoon
4 lettuce leaves (red-leaf or romaine preferred), torn in half
4 6 or 7 inch whole-wheat pita breads, halved
Preheat the broiler. Lightly spray the broiler pan and rack with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, stir together the ground beef, parsley, garlic, ½ teaspoon pepper and oregano. Shape into 4 hamburger-like patties. Put back on the broiler.
Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the patties register 160 degrees on a instant-read thermometer.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion for 2 to 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in the bell pepper and tomato. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mustard, and remaining ¼ to ½ teaspoon pepper.
To assemble, cut the patties in half. Put half a lettuce leaf and half a patty in each pita half. Top with the bell pepper mixture. Spoon the sauce into the pitas.
