Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds Ground chicken or lamb

2 tablespoons Mild or hot curry paste

1 tablespoon Grill seasoning, such as McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning (a palmful)

2 pinches Ground cinnamon or ground cloves

1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cumin (half a palmful)

1 1/2 teaspoons Ground coriander (half a palmful)

Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 Garlic clove

Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

A generous handful of cilantro or flat-leaf parsley

A generous handful of mint

4 Leaves of Bibb or Boston lettuce, chopped

2 Medium tomatoes, sliced

Salt

4 Pita rounds

Preparation

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Mix the ground chicken with the curry paste, grill seasoning, cinnamon, cumin and coriander and form into 4 large, 1/2-inch-thick patties. Coat the patties with a little EVOO and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side (3 minutes on each side for lamb).

2. In a food processor, blend the yogurt with the garlic, lemon juice, cilantro and mint until smooth. Season the lettuce and tomatoes with a little salt.

3. Char the pitas on the grill, about 1 minute on each side, and cut about 1 inch off the tops. Open each pita and fill with a patty, a quarter of the chopped lettuce and sliced tomatoes and a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce.
