This week in HEC we had our first practical and we made Pita Pockets.

The Recipe was:

Ingredients:

  • Lettuce - shredded or torn

  • Cheese - grated

  • Tomato - sliced or diced

  • Carrot - grated 

  • Cucumber - sliced

  • Red Onion - rings or finely chopped

  • Other vegetables: Celery, Capsicum, tinned Beetroot etc

  • Sauces – Choice of Tomato, BBQ, Mayo, Hummus, Sweet Chilli

  • Ham or Cooked Chicken Breast 


Method:

  1. Prepare the vegetables and meat as required

  2. Place pita bread in microwave for 20 seconds (optional)

  3. Cut open the pita bread along the crease to make an opening

  4. Fill pita pockets with required fillings and sauces

  5. Serve


Nutrients of the ingredients:

Pita Bread - Carbohydrates
Lettuce - Minerals and Vitamins
Cheese - Fat
Tomato - Vitamins
Carrot - Vitamins
Cucumber - Vitamins
Red Onion - Vitamins and minerals

Cooked Chicken Breast - Protein


Overall I think the Pockets we made were really well done inside and out. Our team work well together and cooperatively, helping each (especially me because I had no idea what to do).
