Reasons to try our Vegetarian Stuffed Pitas recipe
These delicious vegetarian pitas will bring into your home an assortment of classical European flavors that weāre so lucky to have access to these days. In the following paragraphs Iāll briefly explain how different European cuisines inspired my choice of ingredients for these stuffed pitas:
- I took the simple raw vegetables used in the Mediterranean and East-European cuisines, and used them as the base for our stuffed pitas.
- Using the well-known Italian mozarella cheese brings home the moist flavor of this classic Italian cheese. The delicate flavor of mozarella cheese will lift up these stuffed pitas to a whole new level of deliciousness.
- Next, I decided to use a special kind of soft yellow cheese that comes from the Scandinavian cheese makers. Itās a traditional type of cheese made commonly in Denmark and Norway, a type of cheese prepared using milk that comes from pasture-raised cows. The taste of Scandinavian cheese is always fresh and refreshing, while its smooth texture will pair perfectly with the rest of the ingredients used in our pitas.
- Lastly, I love how the French use butter and full-fat sour cream in their sandwiches as a way to boost flavor, especially when used together with warm bread. Weāll be using soft butter and full-fat sour cream on the inside of our warm pitas, just before adding all other ingredients.
Pro Tip: Instead of the type of yellow cheese that I used (Scandinavian soft yellow cheese) you can definitely go for cheddar cheese. Cheddar cheese comes from the UK and itās somehow similar to Scandinavian yellow cheese, but with a slightly different taste and texture.
I hope that I was able to inspire you into trying these stuffed pitas infused with European flavors. As always, make it a habit to eat the best food that you can and stay healthy!
