INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils (198g)
1/2 cup Cooked Chickpeas (82g)
1 Whole Wheat Pita Pocket (40g)
1/2 cup Mixed Diced Vegetables (75g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro (8g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (120g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
1 Green Chili (10g)
1 tsp Ground Cumin (2.3g)
1 tsp Ground Coriander (2.2g)
1 tsp Turmeric (2.4g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, mix the cooked green lentils and chickpeas with the diced mixed vegetables.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the mixture, then drizzle with olive oil. Toss everything until evenly coated.
Carefully open the whole wheat pita pocket to create a pocket, then spoon the spiced lentil and vegetable mixture into the pita.
Place the filled pita on a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes until the pocket is slightly crispy and the flavors meld together.
While the pocket is baking, prepare the cilantro chutney by blending the fresh cilantro, nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, green chili, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Once baked, remove the pocket and drizzle or serve alongside the fresh cilantro chutney.
Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
