INGREDIENTS - 1/4 cup apple juice
- 2 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoon chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound lean ground lamb
- 2 tablespoon mint jelly, melted
- 4 pita bread rounds, halved crosswise
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1/2 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 small tomato, halved and sliced
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
DIRECTIONS - 1. In a medium mixing bowl combine apple juice, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, rosemary, and salt. Add ground lamb and mix well. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
- 2. Grill patties on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 8 minutes. Turn patties and brush with mint jelly. Grill for 6 to 10 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in side of patty registers 160 degrees F, brushing once or twice with remaining jelly. Open pita bread halves. Line each with a lettuce leaf and a few cucumber slices. Place patties in pita bread halves with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and yogurt. Serve with remaining pita bread halves. Makes 4 servings.
- To grill by indirect heat: Arrange preheated coals around a drip pan in a covered grill. Test for medium heat above pan. Place patties on grill over drip pan. Cover and grill for 20 to 24 minutes or until no pink remains, turning patties and brushing with jelly halfway through grilling time.
