into 8 patties each about 1/4 inch thick. In a large, heavy skillet, heat
oil on medium-high heat; add patties and cook for 5 - 7 minutes per side or

baked following Biotrain directions above. To serve, cut pitas in halves.
Tuck a patty or dollop of the baked mixture into each pita "pocket." Pass
bowls of topping to complete sandwiches as desired. Serves 4.
