teaspoon salt; pulse to combine.
Make the Cucumber Yogurt recipe: Mix cucmbers and yogurt in a small bowl;
set aside.

broiling pan. Broil patties, turning once, until they are browned on both

NOTES : A Subcontinental spin on Gyros, about as easy as hamburgers. You
can substitute ground lamb or chicken for the beef in these meat patties.
Or you can substitute 1-inch cubes of lamb, chicken, fish or beef for the
ground meat patties and use the remaining patty ingredients listed as a
marinade for the meat or fish cubes, which are then broiled.
