   4                    pita bread
   2      Tablespoons   butter
   2      Tablespoons   chopped onion
   1      clove         garlic -- minced
   2      Tablespoons   minced green pepper
   1      pound         ground beef
   1      Tablespoon    prepared mustard
     1/2  teaspoon      oregano
   1      teaspoon      salt
                        freshly ground black pepper
   1 1/2  cups          peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes

Heat the bread in a low oven.  Heat the butter in a skillet and saute the
onion, garlic and pepper until just soft; do not brown.  Add the beef,
mustard, oregano, salt and a generous amount of pepper.  Cook, stirring,
until the meat is no longer red.  At the last minute stir in the chopped
tomatoes and cook briefly.  Cut the pitas in half and stuff the pouches.

Makes 4 generous servings.
