Serves 4
Preparation
Place the herbs in a food processor and pulse grind them into a fine chop.
In a bowl, combine the herbs, yogurt, cumin and grill seasoning. Add the meat and mix to combine. Form into four large, very thin patties.
Wash up and pre-heat a large nonstick skillet with a couple tablespoons EVOO, about two turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side. Heat a small second skillet over high heat and blister the pitas on each side. Cut tops off the bread and fill pita pockets with patties, lettuce and chutney.
