Introduction

From Great Food Fast cookbook. My only change was to cook the patties in a little olive oil rather than grill. From Great Food Fast cookbook. My only change was to cook the patties in a little olive oil rather than grill.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into rough chunks
    4 scallions, thinly sliced
    3 Tbsp chopped fresh ginger (from a peeled 2 inch piece)
    2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (approx juice of 1 lemon)
    1 Tbsp paprika (I used smoked -paprika)
    2 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp ground cardamom
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    4 whole wheat pitas
    2 cups sliced cucumber (I used a "seedless" cucumber)
    1/2 c fresh cilantro leaves
    Cumin Yogurt Sauce (entered into SP separately)

Directions

In a medium bowl place the first 8 ingredients. Add 1 1/2 tsp coarse salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper. Toss to combine. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 and up to 30 minutes.

Transfer chicken mixture to a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped, but not pasty, 10-12 times. Gently form the mixture into 16 3/4" thick patties (about 3 Tbsp each).

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked completely through.

Halve the pitas crosswise. Into each pocket, place 2 chicken patties, some cucumber slices and cilantro sprigs. Serve with cumin-yogurt sauce.
