Chickpea and Herbed Feta Pita Pockets


Yummy stuff here, it’s a simple dump it all in the bowl together and mix, let it sit to meld flavors and then eat.

A good meatless meal.

  •  2 15-ounce cans cooked and drained chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup mayo or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mint
  • 4 tomatoes, sliced (or equivalent amount in smaller tomatoes)
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • mint leaves for garnish

Assemble:

  • Baby spinach
  • 4 pita bread rounds cut in half

This dish really is as simple as dumping all the chopped components into a bowl along with the chickpeas and the mayo and stirring it all together. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least an hour for the best flavor melding. Stuff some baby spinach in the pita bread, and then put the mixture into the pita bread half circles. Garnish with some more mint and serve.

A simple, easy dish to create with a depth of flavor.
