On better days, mash stew, shape into patties, attain proper consistency by adding liquid, or wheat germ and dry milk. Coat patties with wheat germ. Brown in hot oil, 5 minutes per side. Tuck one patty in each pita, add "fixings" and pass the catsup!
Kids love this supper. It's nutritious, inexpensive and meatless.
