I feel so accomplished after my adventures in the kitchen yesterday. Who knew it was so satisfying to make pita? While a wee bit time consuming (you have to wait multiple times to let the little buggers rise), the waiting was more than worth it. And the best part is, when you actually get to put them in the piping hot 500 degree oven, they cook in a flash.
I was glued to the oven, watching in anticipation as they puffed up in the middle like little pillows and could literally see the transformation as the golden edges took on color. It makes it even better that they taste delicious. I hate a thin, textureless pita. These are anything but. Fluffy, yeasty, totally yummy.

So then there is always the dilemma of what to put in them which was solved pretty quickly as I have been craving a veggie burger like crazy. If you have a meat lover in your house (ahem. I do) I promise you, they will enjoy these too. Just maybe you should call them Portobello Patties instead of invoking the word “burger.” No one needs a lecture about why it’s not a burger without two pounds of ground beef. Pair the patties with some broccoli rabe, sauteed with garlic and olive oil and you have yourself one healthy, satisfying meal!
