There are these pita pockets I love by Kangaroo, so I have been trying to think of a meal to incorporate them. This 100% veggie meal came together so quickly and with no cooking. Feel free to swap out any ingredients, so you can use what you have on hand. Here's how you can make Veggie Kangaroo Pouches at your house tonight!
Here's What You Need (Pockets):
15oz of organic garbanzo beans (rinsed and drained)
1/2 of a cucumber, diced
1 cup mixed peppers, diced
2 TBS sundried tomatoes, diced
1 cup Kalamata olives (sliced)
Whole wheat pita pockets (4 sets)
Hummus (I like the roasted red pepper flavored ones)
2 TBS feta
Here's What You Need Dressing:1/8 Cup extra virgin olive oil
1 TBS red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp minced garlic
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Here's What You Do:
Brush pitas with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 8 minutes or gril on a grill pan for 3 minutes per side. Mix all the pocket ingredients in a big bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk the dressing. Pour the dressing over the pocket mixture and toss to combine. Spread a layer of hummus into each pita. Add the filling to the pitas and serve. This makes four complete sets of two with left overs. (This was great over baby spinach with grilled chicken and the left over yogurt dressing from the Greek Chicken in Pita the next day!)
Kid Tip:
I put the filling into whole wheat tortillas and made little wraps using plastic wrap to make it easier for the kids to hold onto. You can also cut the pitas into triangles and serve the filling more as a dip along side hummus and cucumber slices.
