What can I do with Pitta bread?!
What are Pitta pockets!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
A really good thing to do is take Pitta bread and toast it in the oven till it is warm and lightly crisp!. Stuff the pocket part (you will notice a small hole at the corner of the bread, take a blunt knife and draw it round the edge of the bread and you will find that it opens up in to a sort of taco shell shaped pocket) with some ready dressed salad (my favourite is cucumber (peeled is best), iceberg lettuce ripped to shreds and chopped green peppers dressed in chili oil and balsamic vinegar) and some Turkish style stir-fried lamb (try and find a recipe on Google as I cannot give you my partner's as it is a trade secret)!. More simply go to your local delicatessen or supermarket and buy a selection of meze dips such as Houmous, Taramasalata, Melintzanosalata and some Tzatsiki!. Get some olives and some cured peppers as well and use the bread to dip, scoop and hold all of these delicious foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You can put just about anything that you would put in a sandwich inside a pita pocket!.!.!.
If you have stale pita bread you can make pita chips:
Pesto Pita Chips
This goes great with hummus or just about spread where your serving a variety of breads and crackers!. You can also make this with olive oil and fresh parmesan or cracked pepper instead of pesto!.
1 package of pita bread
8 oz!. pesto
Preheat oven to 500°F!. Cut the pita bread into 6 or 8 triangles and separate!. Spread thin layer of pesto on each wedge!. Place on baking sheet and bake until crispy!.
