Shape mixture into 8 patties each about ¼ inch thick. In a large, heavy skillet, heat oil on medium-high heat; add patties and cook for 5 - 7 minutes per side or until golden brown. Or the mixture can be placed in an ovenproof dish and baked following Biotrain directions above. To serve, cut pitas in halves. Tuck a patty or dollop of the baked mixture into each pita "pocket." Pass bowls of topping to complete sandwiches as desired. Serves 4.
