I was stupid enough

spandles

to send Mr Spandles to the supermarket and he bought a packet of Pitta breads instead of nann breads - what can I do with the the Pitta breads.

I would like to make something hot with them???

Many thanks,

PS have always been unsuccessful with Pittas in the past, so I would be grateful for detailed, basic advice!!:o

I would simply lightly toast them and serve with whatever you were serving the nan breads with. 1 minute or so on eash side - I tend to use them with my spinach and potato curry.

Wet them and bung them under the grill.

Pop them in the toaster as described above and cut open and insert filling of your choice.

Toast them and fill the pouches with the curry you were going to have with the naan breads he didn't quite manage to bring back.

Hi spandles

I'd save them and use them as alternatives for sandwiches at lunch time. If you want something hot with them they are lovely filled with salad and oven roasted veg (onion, garlic, peppers, mushroms, courgette and tomatoes all drizzled with olive oil and roasted in a hot oven) or salad and stirfried beef or chicken in a pepper sauce.

This thread has lots of ideas: What Do You Put In Your Pitta Bread?

I'll add your thread to it once you've had more replies, to keep the suggestions together.

I think he has done you a favour really, he's expanded your food knowledge for a start.

I'm going to buy some and try some of the suggestions on here.

Thanks for that, and thank him too.:D

I live pittas stuffed with felafel and hummus or grilled halloumi with some chilli sauce and salad veg. Anything a naan could do, so can a pitta. I think they'd make a fine substitute

Heh, my OH did that last summer - I just used them for my work sandwiches for the next couple of days.

We always use pita with kebabs (on a stick not icky kebabs) with halloumi and have salad and tatziki as side. Tatziki is really easy to make from fresh too. Perfect for bbq weather

Spread with a bit of ketchup, sprinkle with cheese and put under the grill for a few minutes.
Easy cheesy pizza in minutes. My kids love these.

I love pittas! We make HM chicken kebabs. Lovely fresh salad, griddled chicken and chilli sauce!
I also like them a curry!
