    List of Ingredients




    1 pound ground chuck
    4 large, thick pita breads
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
    1 small red onion, sliced
    Salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
    Lettuce leaves, for garnish
    4 tomato slices, for garnish

    Divide meat into four portions and form into half-moon-shaped
    patties to fit on half a pita bread. Use a fork to mash the garlic
    with butter in small bowl; set aside.

    Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms,
    onion, salt and pepper; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Keep
    warm.

    Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for cooking. Spray grill rack with
    non-stick cooking spray. Cook patties to desired doneness. (Can be
    done in a covered grill. For medium rare, cook about 4 minutes on
    one side; turn and cook 4 minutes more.) During the last few minutes
    of cooking, brush one side of each pita with the garlic butter and
    place, buttered side down, on the outer edges of the grill to toast
    lightly.

    Place a pita, toasted side up, on a serving plate. Place a patty
    on one half. Top patty with 1 tablespoon feta cheese. Place part
    of the mushroom mixture on the other half of pita. Repeat to make
    4 sandwiches.
