• 1/2 teaspoon mint
• 1/2 teaspoon basil
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 lb ground beef

Recipe

• 1 combine the yoghurt, cucumber, 1/2tsp mint, 1/2tsp basil and 1/4tsp garlic powder. mix well, and refrigerate. the longer you let this sit, the more well developed the flavors will be. half an hour is alright, 1 - 2 hours is better. if you can, overnight is even better still.
• 2 heat oil in a medium skillet.
• 3 add onions and garlic and saute until translucent.
• 4 add the beef, mint, basil, salt and pepper, and brown the meat.
• 5 once the meat is completely browned, add the feta cheese and pine nuts. stir until the cheese has melted enough to coat the beef, leaving a few large chunks of cheese.
• 6 taste; add more of the spices if needed.
• 7 remove yoghurt sauce from the fridge and salt to taste. serve on the side.
