Now obviously you've all been doing this
since the clock struck six months but I've only just realised today that if you
cut a pitta in half to make a pocket, slide some thin slices of cheese and a
bit of chopped tomato into it and then stick it in the toaster then it makes a
pitta melty thing that can then be left to cool down a bit (a bit? they're
thermo-bloody-nuclear) and cut into fingers. It was great as it wasn't too
messy so could be eaten standing up, which is how Babybear likes to lunch these
days. A stick of carrot in one hand and a pitta finger in the other, very
virtuous. And so very quick.
Okay, tell me. Am I the last person on earth to realise that this is a quick
and easy lunch? what other things could we jam into the cheesy mixture that
wouldn't then fall out? Spring onions? Do they actually have any nutritional
benefit?
Post Script
Oooohoooh, these are really coming into their own now that the sun is out. Which as you may be bitterly aware, means over the last two days in the UK.
Now as you may know I'm not a huge one for the whole disguising of vegetables thing, but one of my favourite sandwich fillings ever is grated carrot, hummous and raisins. I think it would be revolting in these, needless to say.
However, grate one carrot and some cheese into a bowl (I used the Microplane grater but a fine setting would do the trick) along with some spring onions and a half teaspoon of either cumin or sweet paprika and they are lovely, all cheesy and melty and sweet from the carrot. You could add tomato too but Babybear seems to have an allergy so they're off the menu for us for the moment.
