We've been looking for recipes that fall into the "quick and easy" category since we're both working and busy. This recipe is the perfect blend of quick and delicious. And the best part? It's a Weight Watchers Recipe! B was surprised to learn this was courtesy of WW, since he can usually tell by his tastebuds when we're eating these lower fat options. (And it's a stock photo, I don't get credit for the beautiful presentation!)3/4 pound lean ground lamb loin
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint (if you don't have mint you can use fresh basil or a third the amount of dried basil)
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 and 1/3 cup chopped romaine lettuce
1 small bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1/3 cup plain fat-free greek yogurt
4 (6-in) whole wheat pitas, warmed
Gently mix the lamb, onion, mint (or basil) coriander, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Shape mixture into 4 patties, each about a 1/2 inch thick.
Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray; preheat the grill to medium-high or prepare a medium-hot fire. Place the patties on the rack and grill, turning once, until and instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of each patty registers 145 degrees for medium, about 10 minutes.
Divide the lettuce, bell pepper, lamb patties, and yogurt among the pita breads and serve at once.
