Greek Pita Pizzas
Makes: 4 servings
Serving size: 1/2pita
Ingredients
6 ounces lean ground beef or lamb
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 8 ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 (6 inches) whole wheat or white pita bread rounds
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded fresh spinach
1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese (1 ounce)
12 pitted kalamata or ripe olives, halved (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium nonstick skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until meat is browned; drain off fat. Stir tomato sauce and rosemary into meat mixture in skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
2. Carefully split pita bread rounds in half horizontally; place pita halves, rough sides up, in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly toasted.
3. Top toasted pita bread with meat mixture; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 2 to 3 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven. Top with spinach, tomato, feta cheese, and, if desired, olives; serve immediately.
