VEGGIE PITA SANDWICH
This sandwich was my favorite on the menu at a deli on Williamson Road in Roanoke, VA in the early 90's. I cannot remember the name of the place or what they called this sandwich. I don't know if it is still there or not, as I only lived there 2 years, but I still make it today. It was served with potato chips and a pickle. Sweet potato chips or potato salad are good, too. Do not let the list of ingredients scare you off. I have substituted others or omitted some when needed.

MEDITERREAN VEGGIE PITA POCKET
Steps:
- Cut one inch off the top of a pita pocket. Lightly toast the pita in a standard toaster. Dice the onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and feta cheese. Mix olive oil, yogart, oragano, salt and pepper. Then mix all ingredients together and spoon into the toasted pita. * Any meat can be added to the mixture as well at this point; turkey, chicken, beef (I usually use any leftover meats since only a small quantity is needed, 1/4 cup).
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will greatly impact the taste of your veggie pita. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored, firm, and free of blemishes.
- Roast your vegetables: Roasting vegetables intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. To roast vegetables, simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more variety of vegetables you use, the more flavorful your veggie pita will be. Some good options include zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.
- Don't overstuff your pita: It's important to not overstuff your pita, otherwise it will be difficult to eat. Aim to fill your pita with about 1/2 cup of vegetables.
- Serve your veggie pita with your favorite toppings: Some good options include hummus, tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, and olives.
