- Yields:
-
3 pitas
ingredients
- 3 pita bread (6 inch size)

- 2⁄3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

directions
- Preheat oven to 350F and spray a large baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
- Carefully slice one edge of each pita and open to form a pocket.
- Mix the pita filling ingredients and place in the pockets (about two tablespoons per pocket, and yes, it should be quite thick), spreading it as thin as it will go over the bottom of the pocket to about an inch from the edge.

- Bake for 15 minutes or until hot and the green pepper is done.

These were very easy to prepare although I had to leave out the feta and olives because I realized too late that we didn't have any! Next time I make these I'll have to make it as written, because while my version was pretty good, it wasn't anything special. Also, I'd suggest a lighter sauce than tomato paste -- maybe an oregano pizza sauce or something -- as it was a bit strong.

This is scrumteous! I would like two if I were having it on it's own but I must confess I had a chorizo on the side. The combination of flavors is wonderful. I can see using salsa instead of tomato paste just for an extra flavor boost.I baked it on a pizza metal baking tray (the one with holes all over it). I cut the recipe back to 1 pita no problem. Ideal as a lunch or dinner dish. Easy to put together. Thanks whom ever you are - I really enjoyed it
