Pitas Stuffed With Lamb Burgers and Peppers

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Wash, trim, seed and chop peppers.

2. Step 2

   Heat nonstick pan large enough to hold peppers and burgers until it is very hot; reduce heat to medium high, and add oil. Add peppers, and saute until they begin to soften.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, chop onion finely, and mince garlic; chop fresh thyme leaves; pit the olives, and chop. Combine with lamb, pepper and bread crumbs, and shape into 4 patties. Add lamb burgers in between the peppers, and saute on both sides until they are pink in the middle.

4. Step 4

   Slice about an inch off the top of the pitas, and heat two of them in the toaster oven until they are hot but not crisp, just a couple of minutes.

5. Step 5

   Wash, trim and slice tomatoes; wash, trim and chop scallions.

6. Step 6

   When peppers are cooked and burgers are done, stuff each pita with a burger, a quarter of the tomatoes and scallions, and some of the peppers. Serve the remaining peppers on the side.

7. Step 7

   Toast the remaining two pitas, and repeat the stuffing process.
