Ingredients

Filling Ingredients

  • Feta Cheese: 1 cup, crumbled
  • Fresh Spinach: 2 cups, packed
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Salt: to taste
  • Pepper: to taste

Pita and Yoghurt Ingredients

  • Pita Bread: 4 pieces
  • Yoghurt: 1 cup
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Olive Oil: for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Start by sautéing fresh spinach in a drizzle of olive oil until wilted. Once done, combine the spinach with crumbled feta cheese in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Stuff the Pitas: Take your pita bread and carefully cut it in half to create pockets. Generously fill each pocket with the feta and spinach mixture, ensuring an even distribution for delicious bites.
  3. Toast the Pitas: In a hot skillet, lightly toast the stuffed pitas on each side until they are crispy and golden brown. This step is crucial for achieving that delightful crunch.
  4. Make the Garlic Yoghurt: While the pitas are toasting, mix plain yoghurt with minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and creamy.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the pitas are crispy, plate them up and drizzle with the garlic yoghurt. You can also serve additional yoghurt on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the spinach and feta, the better the flavor.
  • Don’t Overstuff: It can be tempting to fill the pitas to capacity, but too much filling can cause them to tear.
  • Preheat the Skillet: Ensuring your skillet is hot enough will help achieve that crispy texture.
  • Experiment with Cheese: If feta isn’t your favorite, try ricotta or goat cheese for different flavors.
  • Let the Yoghurt Chill: Allowing the garlic yoghurt to sit for a few minutes enhances the flavors.
