Hearty Chickpea Pitta Pockets Recipe:
Ingredients:
• 4 large Mr. PItta breads (25cm), cut in half
• 6 cups arugula leaves, lightly packed
• 2 cups of prepared chickpea hummus
• 2 (15-ounce) cans of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 4 small Armenian cucumbers, sliced
• 16 ounces small cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup chopped fresh herbs (cilantro, basil, oregano, thyme)
Method:
Start by lining the bottom of each Mr Pitta half with about 3/4 cup of arugula to create a leafy base, then spoon roughly 1/4 cup of hummus right over the top. Add in a scoop of chickpeas, around 1/3 cup per pocket, so you’ve got a good mix of creamy and hearty in every bite.
From there, layer on half a sliced cucumber and about 6 cherry tomatoes per pocket, then finish things off with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, roughly 2 tablespoons each. Repeat the process for all four Mr Pitta halves, and you’re ready to go serve right away, or chill them if you’re prepping ahead. This makes 4 servings, one filled pita half per person.
