Vegetarian and vegan

Provided by Willow at Will Cook For Friends

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1-4 TBSP light olive oil, or refined (unflavored) coconut oil
1 large pita bread, regular or whole wheat (or 2-3 smaller ones)
pinch of salt, to taste
⅓rd-1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, to taste (about 1½ - 2 lemons)
½ cup olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, grated on a microplane or very finely minced
1 tsp. ground sumac
¾ tsp. kosher salt (or ½ tsp. table salt)
¼ tsp. black pepper
2 hearts of romaine lettuce, chopped
1 english cucumber, chopped into large bite-sized pieces
2 medium tomatoes (or a couple handfuls grape or cherry tomatoes) cut into large bite-sized pieces
½ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
Thinly sliced radishes
Thinly sliced red onions
Crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • To bake the pita chips: drizzle pita bread with 1-2 TBSP olive oil or melted coconut oil, rubbing it to coat both sides, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy, then let cool and break into bite sized pieces.
  • To fry the pita chips: cut or tear the pita bread into bite sized pieces. Heat 3-4 TBSP coconut oil (or other neutral, high-heat oil) in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pita, and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and toss lightly with salt.
  • In a glass measuring cup, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. Taste, and adjust if necessary (if the dressing needs more acidity, add more lemon juice, etc., to taste).
  • Chop the romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, and mint, and place in a large bowl. (If you'd like to add radishes, red onions, or crumbled feta cheese, you can do so now.) Pour over enough dressing to coat, and toss to combine. Top with pita chips, and serve!

MEDITERRANEAN FATTOUSH



Mediterranean Fattoush image

This recipe blends my two favorite salad styles -- panzanella with fattoush. Instead of bread normally called for in panzanella, I use whole wheat pita pockets and crisp them with herbs in the oven. The crispy pita soaks up a lemony dressing and bites of roasted vegetables and fresh mozzarella round out the dish

Provided by Lisa Lotts

Categories     Salad

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 32

2 6" whole wheat pita pockets ((can use plain white pita as well))
pump spray olive oil (or 1-2 teaspoons olive oil)
sprinkle kosher salt
sprinkle black pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme (chopped)
1/4 teaspoon rosemary (finely chopped)
2 cups diced eggplant
2 medium zucchini (diced (I used one green and one yellow zucchini))
1 medium onion (diced)
1 8 ounce can chick peas (rinsed, drained & pat dry with paper towels)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon whole fennel seed (crushed in a mortar and pestle)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon thyme (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon rosemary (chopped)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large tomato (seeded and chopped)
2 tablespoons capers (drained)
1/4 cup kalamata olives (seeded, roughly chopped)
1 4 ounce jar/can artichoke hearts or artichoke bottoms (chopped)
1 roasted red bell pepper (seeded, skinned, diced - from a jar or roast your own.)
2 cups romaine or other crispy lettuce
8 ounces fresh feta or mozzarella (diced)
2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon dijon mustard

4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Cut the pita bread in half and split the pockets open. Lay the pita on a baking sheet and spray or brush lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary over the pita and bake for 10 minutes or until crisp and golden.

Use your hands to toss well to coat the vegetables with herbs and spice. Spread out into a single layer and roast for 15 minutes. Flip the vegetables with a spatula and continue to roast for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Let cool for a few minutes before adding to the salad.
  • While vegetables are roasting, make the dressing: In a small bowl combine the lemon zest, garlic, dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil kosher salt and pepper. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the diced tomato, capers, artichokes, roasted bell pepper and kalamata olives. Add the roasted vegetables and toss to combine.
