The first recipe is called "Baked Pita Bread" (go figure).
The ingredients are:
- 3 pitas, cut into 8 wedges
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
And the directions are:
Preheat heat oven to
375 degrees F.
Cut pitas into 8
wedges. Pour olive oil into a bowl and add garlic, salt and pepper. Brush pita chips olive oil
and garlic mixture. Arrange pita chips on
baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
The second recipe is a dip called "Avocado Goat Cheese dip."
The ingredients are:
- 1 package whole-wheat pita chips (cut into 6 triangles each)
- 3 ripe avocados, peeled pitted and cut into chunks
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more, if needed
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 4 ounces goat cheese
And the directions are:
Preheat oven to 350
degrees F.
Spread pita
triangles on a sheet tray. Bake in the oven until crisp and
slightly toasted. Chips will
need to be rotated twice while baking.
In a bowl combine avocados, garlic,
cumin and salt. Use an electric hand mixer to mix ingredients together. Add
lime juice, cream
cheese and goat cheese
pulsing until smooth and blended well. Add a bit more salt, if necessary.
When I made the dip I used feta cheese, mainly because I thought that feta and goat cheese were the same thing, but come to find out they are not the same thing. And I also didn't put in the cream cheese, which I'm assuming is there to make it creamier (once again, go figure). But, it still turned out great, and tasted amazing. The only complaint about the recipe that I have, although some won't mind it in there, I think it asks for too much garlic. It's just two cloves, but it kinds permeated the entire thing. So, maybe next time when I make it, I'll try it with less garlic and try to get the cream cheese in there.
