Mushroom and Red Pepper Pita
- 23 cup unhulled sesame seeds or 12 cup tahini
- 34 cup water (1/2 cup if using tahini)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning mix (I use 1 Tablespoon vegizest instead, a mild herbal seasoning blend you can purchase on drfuhrman.com)
- 2 dates, pitted and sliced
- 1 small garlic clove, sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 12 teaspoon oil (to coat pan)
- 4 whole grain pita (I like Toufayan Whole Wheat)
- 2 -3 cups baby arugula
- Pita Spread: Combine sesame seeds (or tahini), water, lemon juice, soy sauce, VegiZest, dates and garlic in high powered blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Set aside.
- Filling: Coat large covered non-stick frying pan with oil.
- Add onion, red pepper and mushrooms.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, adding small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.
- When filling is done, cut each pita in half across and gently open to create a pocket.
- Spread 1/8 of pita spread inside each pocket half.
- Add 1/8 of the filling and then stuff with arugula.
- Serve two halves per person.
