CURRIED BEEF PITA 
1 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion, diced
1 garlic clove, halved
1 tbsp. curry powder

1/2 c. water
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 med. tomato, diced

In 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, onion, garlic and curry powder until meat is browned and onion is tender, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently; discard garlic. Add zucchini, water, salt, sugar and pepper; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until zucchini is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato; heat through.

Meanwhile, cut each sandwich pocket in half; place on large cookie sheet. Heat sandwich pockets in 350 degree oven until warm, about 5 minutes. Spoon meat mixture into sandwich pockets. Arrange filled sandwich pockets on large platter.

Makes 4 servings.
