Hummus Pita Sandwiches

 Vegan. Feeds Two.

Ingredients 

- 1/2 Red Pepper

- 1/2 Green Pepper 

- 1/3 Red Onion 

- 2 Small Zucchinis 

- 1 package of your favorite hummus

- 2 Pitas

Spices:

- Paprika*

- Onion Powder*

- Garlic Powder*

- Black Pepper*

Cookware 

- One sauce pan

Beverage Pairing 

Though we usually eat this for lunch, there is no reason not to pair it with some vino! We recommend a white wine. One of our favorites is Heliotrope Pinot Grigio.

Recipe

1.  Cut peppers in half vertically, then cut into vertical slices about 3/4 wide. Cut those in half or in thirds, depending on how tall the pepper is. 

2. Cut the ends off the zucchini and slice into thin circles. 

3. Cut 1/3 of onion and slice into pieces. 

4. Add a tad of olive oil to the sauce pan over medium heat, and place ONLY peppers and onions on. Saute for 2-3 minutes. 

5. Add the zucchini. Let all vegetables saute over medium heat for another 6-8 minutes, moving around to make sure they cook evenly.

6. In the meantime, get your pita out and either toast or microwave it so that it is warm (pitas fall apart much more easily when they are not warmed up). 

7. Cut the pitas in half. Carefully and gently pull them open so as not to tear the pita. 

8. Using a butter knife, coat one or two sides of the inside of the pita with your choice of hummus. 

9. Once the veggies are cooked (I try to make them soft but still crispy) places them inside the pita pocket. 

10. Enjoy!
