Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Combine yogurt, mayo and 1/4 tsp. ginger; season with salt and pepper and set aside.

2. Combine lamb, bread, 1 1/2 tsp. cumin and the remaining 1/2 tsp. ginger; season with salt and pepper. Form into 4" patties. In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook patties until firm, approximately 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate.

4. Chop up the lamb patties and add to the pan, increasing the heat to medium-high. Cook the vegetables until golden, approximately 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley.

5. Top a warm pita with the yogurt sauce and lamb mixture and fold over.

Makes 4 servings.
