Grilled Pitas With Tomatoes Olives And Feta Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Stir tomatoes, olives, onion, 2 tablespoons oil, and mint in small bowl to blend.
• Brush 1 side of each pita with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; place pitas, oiled side down, on grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Turn pitas over; top with tomato mixture, spreading almost to edges. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Cover barbecue and grill pitas until topping is warm, about 2 minutes. Transfer pitas to plates and serve.

Steps:

• Brush both sides of each bread slice with some oil. Cut enough 1/4-inch-thick slices from feta to cover 2 slices of bread and cut tomato into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Assemble 2 sandwiches with feta and tomato slices, seasoning filling with oregano and LOTS of pepper.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook sandwiches until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Variation: Adding sliced or chopped Kalamata olives is a delicious addition.
• Note: This is a grilled sandwich that is delicious served at room temperature too.

Steps:

• Whisk together lemon juice, oregano, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then add oil and whisk dressing until combined well.
• Purée 1 1/4 cups chickpeas, water, and 1/4 cup dressing in a food processor until almost smooth.
• Heat grill pan over high heat until smoking and lightly brush with oil, then grill pitas, 2 at a time, turning over once, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes total per batch. Transfer to plates.
• Add salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, cheese, and remaining chickpeas to remaining dressing in bowl and toss to coat well.
• Spread some chickpea purée on each pita, then mound salad on top.

Steps:

• Stir mayonnaise, feta cheese, and lemon zest together in a small bowl until well blended. Spread feta mixture evenly over bread slices.
• Top 2 slices of the bread evenly with tomato slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top tomatoes with remaining bread slices, feta-side down. Brush both sides of the sandwich evenly with olive oil.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches in the hot skillet until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden and toasted, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place breads on baking sheet - ungreased.
• Sprinkle cheese on each pita and add Italian seasoning to each.
• Top with rest of ingredients divided equally on the four breads.
• Drizzle 1/4 teaspoon (olive oil) on each pita.
• Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes.
• Cut in half and let rest for 4 minutes before serving.
