Pita Spinach sandwich


By INDIAN FOOD (Visit website)




Pita is a round bread with pockets (usually used in chawarma or other sandwich), commonly found in middle eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Thanks to all my Lebanese friends here in Ivory coast who introduced me to Lebanese cuisine. I was fascinated and wanted to try each one of them at home. I did try quite a few at home like chawarma, shish taouk, falafal, escalope de poulet, varieties of sandwich, kebe, kebabs etc. This is one healthy snack which I love to have whenever I'm hungry. Pita breads can be usually stuffed with salads, sauces, meat, chicken etc. I have made a simple spinach filling. But, its tasty and healthy as well. Here goes the recipe...

Ingredients:
Pitta bread - 1 nos

For the filling:
Chopped spinach - 1 cup
Onions - 1 nos
Garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Chilly powder - 1 tsp
Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Salt for taste


Method:
Heat oil in a wok, splutter cumin seeds, add finely spiced onions and saute for 2 min. Add garlic paste and stir for a min. Add chilly powder and give a stir. Now add the finely chopped spinach (little water can be added if required), and salt. Cover and cook till the oil separates. Now the filling is ready. Take the pita bread, warm it on a pan or tawa for 30 sec on each side (not too much, as that can get hard). Cut it in to halves (I used a pair of scissors). Stuff with the filling, fold again to get layered sandwich. Enjoy the sandwich.

Note:
Can place this sandwich in a sandwich press and heat it again to get the compact shape. If you are looking for more rich sandwich then you can spread a layer of mayonnaise - garlic paste, then place the filling, can add some french fries also. I prefer to stuff some salad inside (like cucumber, parsley etc)
