...while we are all pretty much confined to our homes...we may be missing some of our favorite foods that we normally get at restaurants...
...last night the Man recreated a Cuban dish that he is fond of...and y'all know how much I love going to the Greek restaurant...and my favorite thing there is the fresh hot pita breads...
...the Greek pitas that we get at the restaurant are nothing like the split pitas that you get at the grocery store...they are tender, fluffy and hot off the griddle...and they are usually vegan...
...we found
this recipe at Philo's Kitchen...and followed it to make some delicious stay at home pitas...
...pretty straightforward...just mix up the dough...and let it rise...
...then...when it's ready...heat a skillet and lightly grease it with some olive oil...
...separate the dough into little balls...
...and roll it out...to about 1/4 inch in thickness...
...make some pricks in it...my little Pampered Chef roller has a built in little fork...so handy...
...then just cook in the skillet until you see little brown spots...
...on both sides...
...these are so good hot out of the pan...we had ours with olives...
...these ones are so...so good...
...but they are delicious with vegan tzatziki or hummus as well...
...have you been recreating any favorite dishes while you're homebound...
~Have a lovely day!
I love the pita with hummus but haven't tried making pita yet. I haven't recreated any restaurant type dishes. Just doing my usual cooking.
ReplyDeleteYum, I'll have to try that. I'm trying to avoid using my oven too much as we're low on propane and this island has no refill service. The nearest propane is about 40 miles away. Love, K
ReplyDeleteHey K,
Deletedo you cook with propane on the stovetop too?...
Love,
