Pita Pocket
Ingredients:
- Cheese
- Tomato(es)
- Onion
- Ham
- Lettuce
- Carrots
- Hummus, condiments
In the first practical lesson of this semester, we started off with quite a simple recipe that is, Pita Pockets. A product that does not need any cooking, basically like a sandwich. First, always, what is done before any assembling is the mise en place as usual. The ingredients that have been listed a top is settled and cut accordingly. The tomato cut into reasonable prices that fit inside of the pita bread, the carrots peeled and grated so is the onion and cheese.
After the cutting and preparation had been completed, the next step was to layout the bread and make an insition around 1cm off the edge of the bread, this is then progressed into a curved, moon shape, that is around 1/3 the length of the bread. Form the insition cut, which then resembled a "pocket" it is then stuffed with the rest of the ingredients. Before the others, the round ham is placed in the bread and spread accordingly. Followed by the onions, carrots, cheese, cheese, lettuce and then the condiments. The nozzle of the bottle was inserted in the pocket in which it was then squeezed to provide some moisture to the bread.
The only find step into making the 'Pita Pocket' was to plate, meaning to present in a way that is appetizing.
Finally, it was then consumed. The taste was quite nice, I expected a rougher taste as raw onions have been placed; however, it was not as such and only provided a mild taste that was fitting for this certain recipe. The carrots and lettuce provided a mixture of flavour that was refreshing, combined with the cheese and ham, the dryer more savoury ingredients went well together. At last, the condiments that I have placed, which was only ketchup, gave it that needed moisture from all of the dry ingredients, like a jigsaw puzzle it was all piece together in harmony to give good flavour, texture and taste.
The only change that I would like to make is maybe giving the pita bread a nice toast and colour on both sides to give a slight crunch.

Hi Axle. What a great idea to toast the Pita Pocket next time to add some crunch. Your Blog Post is both informative and descriptive. What other sauces or condiments could you use to add flavour and moistness to the Pita Pockets?
ReplyDeleteHi Axle. Your blog is well written and I would have no trouble in replicating the method you describe. I would like to see photos taken during the preparation and of the final product. Have you considered what other sauces you could have used? Maybe sweet chilli??
