1/2 small cucumbers, sliced
1 medium tomatoes, sliced
2 6-inch pita bread or 2 6-inch flat bread, halved

In medium bowl, combine ground pork, 2 tablespoons of the yogurt, basil, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder and pepper; mix well.
shape mixture into 4 oval shaped patties, 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine remaining yogurt, parsley, green onions, lemon peel, sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remamaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; mix well.
Set aside.
It is recommended to grill the patties covered for approximately 11 to 14 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in center.
We have cooked them in a skillet as well.
You have to be careful because the meat is lean and it tends to stick.
Place patties, cucumber and tomato slices topped with yogurt sauce in pita halves.
ENJOY!
