Beef Pitas

3 Servings


12 ounces lean ground beef
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon mined garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tomato, seeded and diced
1/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 lettuce leaves
3 pita breads

Preheat broiler.
Combine beef, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and oregano. Shape into 3 patties and set aside. Place whole bell pepper on broiler pan and broil, turning frequently, 3 to 5 minutes, or until charred all over. Place hot pepper in plastic bag, seal and shake. As pepper begins to cool, skin will loosen. When skin is loose, peel gently under cool running water. Remove stem, core and then dice. Place patties on broiler pan and broil 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or to desired degree of doneness. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to make a mustard sauce. Place a lettuce leaf in each pita bread. Add meat patty and 1/3 of vegetable mixture. Top each with 2 tablespoons mustard sauce.
