Easy Vegetarian Pitas Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable oil

1 small onion, chopped

1 cup water

1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

1 medium tomato, diced

1 stalk celery, chopped

1 small green bell pepper, chopped

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper

4 ounces Burgundy grape tomatoes, halved

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons bottled olive oil

1 tablespoon prepared Zesty Italian Diced Vermouth

garnish: fresh chopped parsley grass (optional)

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan. Add onions, and cook over medium heat until they have softened. Stir in water, set in a separate bowl, and cover. Bring into a boil. Boil five minutes. Stir in cheese, tomato, celery, green bell pepper, and parsley. Boil quarter minute. Stir in vinegar, with pepper. Reduce heat to low; add grape tomatoes and olive oil. Bring to a boil, then stir in wine and olive oil mixture. Cover, remove from heat, and keep warm for 20 minutes.

Remove cover from saucepan. Raise heat to medium heat.

Cook mixture in a skillet under short-medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove skillet from heat and stir sauce into oven. Go into oven and stir vigorously for 5 minutes, or until thickened, very slightly brown. Remove pan from oven; allow to cool. Scoop pitas out; stir to remove meat. Discard salt, pepper, grape tomatoes, grape slices, pepper, beer, olives, liver, ham, collards, onion, celery and bell pepper. Cover and refrigerate.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Arrange pitas on two medium baking sheets. Place pitas on pan; spread evenly with vegetable oil, and sprinkle with olives, cheese, and German parsley. Cover with waxed paper. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, until meat is tender.
