Cooking Notes
I added garbanzo beans to white bean hummus. It was much better
This is expertly conceived; ignore what they say about this being for kids. I'm a grown adult and I'm on my way to having this for lunch everyday. I feel like it invites riffs on the original idea, but so far I'm too pleased with the version as written (except with cucumbers rather than celery) too change it up, but I have variations brewing.
This is delightful
I make a hot version of this with steamed veggies, cheddar cheese & a bit of vinaigrette. One of my favorite weekday meals, and quick as well. I steam the veggies, drain well, place in the pita with cheese, and pop in the toaster over till cheese is nice & melty. Add the vinaigrette afterward.
I added a bit of feta cheese and Turkish Ajjwar. Tasted great, healthy and fresh.
Nice starter recipe for a veggie pita sandwich. I made my sandwich with leftover pita bread, baba ghanoush, and condiments from the local takeout place. Added plenty of parsley and a hard boiled egg. Hearty, crunchy, and fast. Pickles are a must.
