  • Tip

    Gi assessment

    Houmous scores extremely low on the Gi scale and bulgar wheat does very well, too. They will help slow down the blood glucose rise from the other carbs.

Method

  1. Cook the bulgar wheat in simmering water for 5 minutes or until tender. Rinse in cold water and drain. Mix with the lamb mince and ground cumin and season well.
  2. Shape into 4 large or 8 small patties. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the patties and onion rounds in a single layer. The lamb will need about 4-5 minutes on each side but the onion may cook a little quicker.
  3. Stuff the pitta with the lamb burgers and onions and serve with houmous or tzatziki and a few salad leaves.
