I like to make these because they are good and because I can prepare all the ingredients in advance, then all I have to do is cook up the patties. The Minty Yogurt Sauce should be made at least an hour before serving, and kept cold in the fridge.
Ingredients
Serves 4
1 pound ground chicken
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
olive oil
Pita pockets, cut in half
Lettuce, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, for serving
Mint yogurt topping (recipe follows)
Mint Yogurt Topping
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions
1. Add first 11 ingredients to food processor, and whir until combined. At this point you can put it in the fridge for later, or set aside if making right away.
2. If making right away, divide the chicken mixture into 8 patties, and press to the size you want them. Spread a little olive oil on a baking sheet, place patties on sheet, and spread the tops with a little more olive oil. Broil, with tray as close to the broiler as it allows, 5-10 minutes each side.
3. Serve with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers and Mint yogurt topping, if desired.
4. To make the Mint Yogurt Topping, combine all ingredients and place in fridge for at least an hour before serving.
