MEDITERRANEAN BEEF PITAS RECIPE | REAL SIMPLE

Mediterranean Beef Pitas Recipe | Real Simple image

Ready this satisfying wrap in 15 minutes or less! After forming the beef into small patties, you’ll brown the balls and prepare the pitas. Layer the hummus, beef, and toppings, put a few lemon wedges on each plate, and you’re good to go. Amp up the flavor, if you’d like, with a flavored hummus, like roasted red pepper or zesty garlic. The wrap is plenty satisfying on its own, but if you’re feeling adventurous (or you’d like something a little more on the table), consider a side of rice, store-bought tabouli salad, an assortment of mixed olives, or roasted fingerling potatoes, seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika.

HOMEMADE PITA BREAD RECIPE - NYT COOKING

Is it worth making pita at home? Absolutely. Store-bought pita (like store-bought sandwich bread) is often several days old. Warm, fragrant home-baked pita is obviously superior, and there’s a bit of a thrill when the breads puff up in the oven. And once you get the hang of it, it’s not difficult. For the best flavor, try to get freshly milled whole-wheat flour. Even though only a little is called for in the recipe, it makes a difference.

Carefully lift the dough circle and place quickly on hot baking sheet. After 2 minutes the dough should be nicely puffed. Turn over with tongs or spatula and bake 1 minute more. The pita should be pale, with only a few brown speckles. Transfer warm pita to a napkin-lined basket and cover so bread stays soft. Repeat with the rest of the dough balls.
