- 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- Sandwiches:
- 6 ounces ground lamb
- 6 ounces ground sirloin
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

- 4 (6-inch) pitas, cut in half

Method
- To prepare sauce, combine the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; cover and chill until ready to serve.
- To prepare sandwiches, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and beef to pan; cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well, and set aside. Wipe pan with a paper towel.
- Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray; return to heat. Add onion; saute 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in meat mixture, thyme, ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, crushed red pepper, and garlic. Reduce heat to low; cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in parsley. Fill each pita half with 1/4 cup lamb mixture, 2 tablespoons cucumbers, about 1 tablespoon roasted peppers, and about 1 tablespoon sauce.
