Directions

1. Brown grnd beef and lamb along with 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, basil, oregano and pepper. Break up meat with a fork as it cooks. Keep hot.
2. Wash cucumber, score rind with a fork, then slice thinly. In a medium saucepan combine cucumber and onion slices with water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 10 min or possibly till soft. Drain and place in a bowl.

Make a layer of meat mix, cover with a tomato slice, then top with cucumber mix. To serve, replace top crust halves. Serves 8. Mix is equally good served in pita bread.
