making sure patties are cooked through and are golden brown. Remove

4. Serve 3 or 4 patties inside a loaf of pita bread by opening the
bread around the outside edges of the round, leaving approximately 3
inches intact. Add sliced radishes, chopped parsley, diced tomatoes,
pickles and hot peppers. Drizzle Sesame Seed Sauce (tahini) over the
vegetables.
5. Bring the top layer of the pita over to cover the filling. Roll,
starting from other side, or cut a small pita bread in half to form a
pocket and fill. Patties may also be served without the pita bread,
by dipping them into the Sesame Seed Sauce.
