this middle eastern guy at work.. put me to it.. usually i look at whole wheat pita as some third class cheap food.. but hey.. guess we are .. cheap and third class so why not..
the filling in the pita was crab meat mixed with egg salad.. i make good egg salad and then crab meat took it to another level..
was a nice light lunch.. didnt even have to warm it so i could easily pack it away for kids too.
Re: brand new lunch idea
other kinds of filling could be: the infamous nimkos tikkas with garden salad..
OR this egg role filling that i made from left over meats in the salanss
( meat from left over chicken curry, grated carrots, thinly sliced cabbage, lots of crushed black pepper.. saute all with some soy sauce and hot sauce to taste ... )
make egg roles out of it or fill wraps or whole wheat pita///
good ready to go snack

Since she started assuming things and making and *a$$ * out of you and me.
I hate crab meat --
egg salad-- hmm that can be done.
For people that use WW -- its pretty high in points.
Re: brand new lunch idea
can u plz share ur egg salad recpie ?
Re: brand new lunch idea
We've used chicken salads, roasted peppers & goat cheese, egg salads, even qeema with veggies in pitas.
Crab meat, no no.
Re: brand new lunch idea
I LOVE whole wheat pita bread. The idea sounds good. You should also try whole wheat pita with cucumber, peppers, feta cheese, olives, lettuce and tomatoes. It tastes heavenly!
Totally dont see the connection with cheap third class people and pita bread though

Ummm what?
Re: brand new lunch idea
Hmmm - i love pitta bread - but would you warm it up first and then cut it open and fill it in?
Whenever i make pitta bread sandwich - there is not enough filling and when i DO stuff it - there is always a rip!
Re: brand new lunch idea
Yummm!!
can I add some hummas in that?
YUMMY!
Re: brand new lunch idea
its all 'the husbaanddaa' brain washing .. who always wanted home made rotis and looked at pita like some bad cheap alternative..
Like the other ideas...
my egg salad is :
boiled eggs / boiled potatoes / Mayo / white vinegar / sugar / salt / black pepper / all mushed up together and some celery thinly sliced for crunch..
also added shredded crab meat this time
Re: brand new lunch idea
suger and salt in same sandwich? Its like you painting. lol
Re: brand new lunch idea
i'll try that.. i'm just so wary of seafood...
and it would be nice to have real crab instead of the imitation ones on the store shelves..
this thread made me crave a pita sandwich yest.. so i made one yesterday with the leftover smoked kebabs, seared onions and stuck a slice of cheddar cheese in it, and also put in some mint chutney. it was yumm.
Re: brand new lunch idea
just add hummus!
namkeen, that sounds so flippin' good! im hungry now!
Re: brand new lunch idea
Hin,
Last night I spent an hour stocking up on pitas and laukis at the grocery store after reading your's and bhabs' lauki section. I am soooo excited to hopefully put on some weight after consuming all these delicious recipes!
Re: brand new lunch idea
Apply some glue on the surface of the pitta with the help of a silicone brush and let it dry for 30 minutes it will not rip, guaranteed.

Yams.. sweet potatoes can give you an instant weight gain.. or so I have heard...
