Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole-wheat pita bread
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stem.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
While the mushrooms marinate, chop the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the cucumber. Set the vegetables aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Cook the marinated portabella mushroom caps for 4–5 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Stuff each pita with romaine lettuce, sliced portabella mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers. Drizzle with the tahini sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Portabellas in Pita!
