Stuffed Pitas with Smashed Lemony Chickpeas, Arugula, Piquillo Pepper and Feta Recipe
Posted by
Directions:
- Toss the arugula with the feta, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the lemon juice (to taste) and salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each) in a large bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, combine the chickpeas and diced pepper in a medium bowl. Use the back of a large metal spoon to mash the chickpeas against the sides of the bowl, taking care not to totally pulverize or puree them. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the lemon zest, cumin and the smoked Spanish paprika, if using. Taste, and season lightly with salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon each). Mash the chickpeas a bit more, then sprinkle the thyme over the mixture. 3. To assemble the sandwiches, cut off the top inch or so of each pita bread to create a pocket. (Eat those pieces if you're hungry, or save for croutons.) Spoon equal amounts of the chickpea mixture into each pita, then stuff with the arugula-feta mixture. 4. Serve immediately.
