Brown ground beef and lamb along with 1 1/2 tsp. salt, basil, oregano and pepper. Break up meat with a fork as it cooks. Keep warm.
Wash cucumber, score rind with a fork, then slice thinly. In a medium saucepan combine cucumber and onion slices with water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 10 minutes or until soft. Drain and place in a bowl.
Add yogurt, vinegar, parsley and remaining 1 tsp. salt. Mix until vegetables are evenly coated. Cut each tomato into 4 thick slices.
To assemble sandwiches: Split each roll halfway through, then cut across top to remove half of top. Press soft insides to make room for filling. Make a layer of meat mixture, cover with a tomato slice, then top with cucumber mixture. To serve, replace top crust halves. Serves 8. Mixture is equally good served in pita bread.
